A {{Josei}} {{manga}} by Nanae Chrono about a cyborg vampire named Charley who happens to be a vampire hunter for the Vatican. No, really. Since it's a sin to ingest the blood of a human, Charley lives off his master, playboy Johnny Rayflo, also a vampire. Cue UnresolvedSexualTension and buckets of HoYay. The first four volumes are available in English from the now-closed {{Creator/Tokyopop}}. The entire series consisted of seven volumes and ended on March 15th, 2013.

A few drama CD's have been released, and an {{OVA}} was produced and released along with Volume 7.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: Boatloads between Charley and Rayflo, since despite their blood-drinking (and overall relationship) comes off as overtly sexual to the point of being YaoiGuys to the audience, they never actually shown to have done it, and don't seem to be ''together'' in a "couple" sense; Charley even talks about their bond in a familial sense at times (which it certainly was when he was a child), though the rampant sexual tension they carry regardless [[IncestSubtext might warp that]] during the present day. [[spoiler:''Finally'' resolved in the bonus pages of the last volume, wherein it seems they have sex along with Charley's usual blood-drinking.]]

* OneManArmy: [[CrazyAwesome 86.]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: One wonders how much radar there even is for this series, given how it keeps dancing along the line between heavy HoYay and plain old [[BoysLoveGenre Boys Love]]. However, the scene that really sticks out is the one where Rayfell is seducing Charley, and she stuffs her hand down his pants and starts giving him a handjob, and if you squint, you can see the outline of Charley's, er, area.

** Cheryl is basically a loli version of Charley, at least in appearance.

* {{Lolicon}}: Rayfell and Cheryl's relationship has... shades of this.

* {{Shotacon}}: Despite their current relationship, this trope is averted with [[spoiler: Johnny and young Chris]], and referenced when Johnny's getting jealous of Charley paying Harold attention.
** Rayfell and Cheryl are, again, a {{Lolicon}} version, except they seem to be waiting until Cheryl's a vampire (or at least legal)... Probably.

* YaoiGuys: Charley and Rayflo, duh. [[spoiler: Barry is a Yaoi Guy, and he probably thinks he's this with Rayflo, although it's not reciprocated.]]

* OfficialCouple: Chris (Charley) and Rayflo at the end of the manga. [[spoiler: Rayflo professes in tears that "My partner can only be Chris" while stepping in to die with him as he'd decided would be the case centuries back, and later after they survive, Chris realizes that the day he was originally dying the rain had hidden Rayflo's tears and muses that so much time had been wasted with his misunderstanding, they finally consummate their relationship, and Rayflo ends the manga by beginning to tell Chris his real name, determined that what time they have together, he'll spend cherishing it with him.]]
