At school Karin meets a new transfer student, the human Kenta Usui, with whom she becomes friends and later falls in love. After he learns her secret, he agrees to help Karin during the day when her vampire family is unable to watch over her. While the awkward couple deal with the issues of a relationship between a human and a vampire, they meet Yuriya Tachibana, a human-vampire hybrid sent by her uncle Glark and a vampire named Bridget Brownlick to research Karin. The pair eventually kidnaps Karin, dubbing her the \"Spring of Psyche\" and intending that all vampires drink her blood so that it may rejuvenate their species. The anime television adaptation features character designs by Yumi Nakayama and a slightly modified story. Yuriya, Glark and Bridget do not appear; instead, the Marker family finds itself targeted by the Sinclair family of vampire hunters. Victor Sinclair wishes to destroy the family, blaming them for his family's \"shame\" because his ancestor Alfred Sinclair fell in love with Elda Marker, Karin's grandmother.Victor blames Elda for loving Alfred and filling his life with sadness. Victor's grandson Winner initially aids him in his quest, but develops feelings for Karin who gave him confidence when he questioned his ability to follow his dreams."@en . . . . "October 2009"@en . .
