At Cross Academy, a modern boarding school divided between a human Day Class and a secretive vampire Night Class, fragile peace depends on strict separation and guardianship. Pureblood bloodlines, vampire law, and hunter weapons shape society, while ancient rivalries threaten coexistence. Yuki serves as Guardian of Cross Academy, caught between human loyalty, vampire duty, and escalating aristocratic conflict.

Notes
Brown-bobbed Yuki, in Cross Academy uniform with Pureblood seal, is compassionate, determined, conflicted, loyal, self-sacrificing, seeking coexistence amid guilt.
