The light novel Kaketa Tsuki no Mercedes (Mercedes and the Waning Moon), starring a renegade noble vampire, is getting an anime ! The work mixes dark fantasy with dungeon exploration, featuring a charismatic and determined heroine.
A noble vampire in the depths of the dungeon
Born the daughter of a concubine in a decaying noble house, Mercedes does not have an easy life. To support her mother, she decides to face the dangers of a vast underground labyrinth. Instead of eliminating the creatures she encounters, Mercedes chooses to tame them, forming an army of loyal monsters as she advances through increasingly dangerous layers.
The story highlights not only her cunning and power, but also the willpower of someone who was discarded by society and decided to forge her own destiny.
