The Case Study of Vanitas anime adaptation from Studio Bones will begin its first cour on 2 July. Written and illustrated by Jun Mochizuki, who people would recognize from Pandora Hearts, the Vanitas anime adaptation comes roughly 6 years since its debut serialization in December 2015. In the lead up to its air date, the Japanese Aniplex Youtube channel has been posting promotional shorts, the most recent of which being the fifth of ten planned so far.

Vanitas no Carte follows Noé, a young man travelling aboard an airship in 19th century Paris with one goal in mind: to find the Book of Vanitas. A sudden vampire attack leads him to meet the enigmatic Vanitas, a doctor who specializes in vampires and, much to Noé’s surprise, a completely ordinary human.
