Synopsis for The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess
Cloistered vampire Terakomari, or Komari for short, wakes from her sleep to discover that she has been promoted to army commander! What happens is that your new squad has a reputation for being violently insubordinate. And although Komari was born into a prestigious vampire family, her hatred of blood made her the picture of mediocrity – skeletal, uncoordinated, and inept at magic. With all the odds stacked against her, will the help of her trusty maid be enough for this recluse to stumble her way to success?
