Enter Tatsuta Ōtori, a seemingly unremarkable second-year high school student who tends to blend into the background. He unexpectedly discovers Luna’s secret, leading to an unlikely partnership. To help Luna overcome her sucking ineptitude, Tatsuta becomes her “Mama,” allowing her to practice blood-sucking on him. This forms the basis of a comedic and heartwarming relationship.
