Synopsis for The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess
After three years in seclusion, the vampire Terakomari Gandesblood (Komari for short) awakens to discover that she has been appointed commander of the Imperial Mulnite Army. The problem is that her new unit is made up solely of belligerent ruffians who turn on her superiors at the slightest hint of weakness. Although Komari comes from a lineage of vampires as powerful as they are prestigious, her refusal to drink her blood has made her the very picture of mediocrity: skinny, uncoordinated, and inept at magic. With all the odds stacked against her, will the help of her faithful (and slightly enamored) maid Vill of hers be enough to help this recluse work her way to success? Or will Komari regret the day she left the safety of her room?
