The story revolves around vampire and the activity of blood sucking has sexual overtones. One character outright says, “Sucking blood without consent is against the law!” It is not always a stand-in for sex or sexual assault, but many scenes do use it as such. This adaptation often tones down sexual content or romanticizes it compared to the manga. S1E3: a young man forces a kiss on a young woman and lays the foundations for future coercion. In the next season, they start a consensual relationship, and the young woman expresses a mild fantasy of assaulting him after seeing him in a vulnerable state. S1E4: the young man coerces the same young woman into drinking his blood while she lacks self-control due to a curse. He presses himself against her and between her legs without consent. The young woman briefly visualizes a child out of fear that she will lose control and assault him in the young man’s stead. S1E5: the guardian of some children is implied to be grooming them. A young man is almost kissed without consent. S1E7: a child calls out the S1E4 assault, and the young man brushes it off. He later coerces the young woman into drinking exclusively his blood in the future. S1E10: a young man is touched in creepy ways by his childhood abuser. S1E11-12: an older man bites a young man and forces him to agree to obey him at a future time via hypnosis. The older man also creepily touches the face of a young woman who is enslaved to him, though she doesn’t appear bothered. S2E1: a teenage boy says he killed a group of men because they mistook him for a woman and touched him without consent. A young man takes advantage of the teenager's trauma-driven aversion to being seen as a girl and uses it to distract him in battle. The teenager is briefly forced to relive the memory of his and his sister’s assault. S2E2: a woman who looks like a young girl sucks a naked young man’s blood without his consent. He struggles against her without success, but the woman is eventually stopped by another young man. S2E3: the older man from the previous season bites the woman who looks like a young girl and attempts to hypnotize her. He lifts her up in a way that is very evocative of child abuse. She fights him off, and he leaves. S2E4: the young man who stopped the assault in S2E2 forces the same victim to drink his blood. S2E5: an older, god-like vampire forces a kiss on the woman who looks like a child. S2E6: a teenage boy recalls his and his sister’s assault by a gang of vampires. Blood drinking is still portrayed as a stand-in for rape, though this scene is a much milder allusion than it is in the manga. S2E7: the teenager has a brief traumatic flashback to the aftermath of his assault. Nothing implicitly or explicitly sexual is shown onscreen, but it may be disturbing to some viewers. S2E8: a child strokes a young woman’s hair in an unsettling manner. This child is revealed to have experienced sexual abuse in later episodes, explaining his behavior throughout the series. S2E9: the same child partly disrobes and forces a young man to drink his blood. People speak about the child having been dressed as a girl and prostituted by his mother. He witnesses her assault and murder. S2E10: the first child and another child are touched in creepy ways and tortured by an older man. The show cuts back to the child forcing the young man to drink his blood. S2E11-12: the child coerces the young man into attempting to assault another young man, and the following fight is based around that attempt. The young men overcome the situation without further assault. The predatory guardian from S1E5 appears and creepily touches the now-injured child’s face. He has a tendency to refer to those under his guardianship as his “kittens.” Future events in the manga include more graphic references to child sexual abuse and may be adapted at some point. Predation, abuse, and theft of agency are huge themes in this series.
