The anime was originally presented in a 4-episode OVA (Original Video Animation) licenced by AnimEigo in 1988 , and was later adapted into a 26 episode television series licensed by TOKYOPOP and released in 1997 . CHARACTERS ;Miyu (美夕) A girl who appears to be 13 or 14 years old but in fact is much older, being a Vampire .In the OVA , she was the child of a human father and a vampire mother in post- World War II Japan . In the TV series, however, her mother was human and her father was a shinma guardian in pre-World War II Empire Of Japan . In both cases, Miyu became the Guardian after losing her parents. It should be noted that the OVA Miyu was childlike and playful while the series Miyu was more reserved and composed. Even though she is a vampire, Miyu isn't harmed by sunlight, holy water or crucifixes. Though she does need to drink blood to survive, she picks her 'victims' carefully. Choosing those who have suffered a tragic loss and offering them their greatest wish - to be with their lost loved ones - in exchange for their blood. These people live an endless dream state forever. In the TV series, when posing as a human, she goes by the name Miyu Yamano (山野美夕 ''Yamano Miyu''). ;Larva (ラヴァ) A Shinma from the western world. In the OVA , Larva came to prevent Miyu's vampire blood from awakening, but it did anyway, for she drank his blood. As a result of this failure, Larva's face and voice were sealed behind a mask for all eternity. In the TV series, Larva faced Miyu after she had become the Guardian. After he had struck her down, she drank his blood. In both cases, Larva pledged to be by Miyu's side. Note that in the TV series, Larva can speak and can occasionally remove his mask. Characters from the OVA ;Himiko Se: She is a spiritualist who encounters Miyu during a job. Their paths cross throughout the series as Himiko searches for her. At the end of the OVA Himiko is shocked as she remembers meeting Miyu when she was a child. ;Ranka: Appearing in Vol. 2, ''A Banquet of Marionettes'', she is a shinma who places the essences of her victims into life-size dolls. She fell in love with a boy named Kei, who Miyu was also interested in. Kei wishes to be with Ranka even after she used him and Miyu is forced to banish them both. ;Lemures: Appearing in Vol. 3, ''Fragile Armor''. He is an old friend of Larva who sought to release him from Miyu. However Larva stayed true to Miyu, who instead of banishing Lemures killed him with fire. (Note: Lemures' counterpart in the TV series was called '''Garline'''.) Characters from the TV series ;Shiina (死無): A shinma who looks like a cute pink bunny. However, her right ear covers a bulging, bloodshot yellow eye which enables her to see great distances and dispel illusions. ;Reiha (冷羽): A child-like snow demon, she is Miyu's rival who seeks to destroy shinma, believing Miyu is not fit to do the job. ;Matsukaze: Reiha's talking doll companion. He doesn't hide his contempt for Miyu. ;Chisato Inoue (井上千里 ''Inoue Chisato''): One of three schoolgirls who befriends Miyu. Early on, she buys two keychain charms as tokens of friendship for Miyu and herself. Near the end of the series, it is revealed that Chisato is in fact a shinma, whose purpose is to destroy Miyu. ;Yukari Kashima (鹿島由加里 ''Kashima Yukari'') and '''Hisae Aoki''' (青木久恵 ''Aoki Hisae''): Chisato's classmates. Yukari is slightly tomboyish while Hisae is more of a bookworm. Both Hisae and Yukari are killed by Chisato. VOICES (OVA)
