The battle for the future has just
begun in this futuristic hit manga
adaptation of the light novel series,
for which an anime adaptation just

The near future. A terrible battle against
a parasitic virus called “Gastrea” has
been fought—and lost. Humanity is
cornered and lives in despair. Rentaro
and Enju face constant danger in their
work as a team of specialists working
for Civil Security, an agency dedicated
to fighting Gastrea. Enju is one of the
“cursed children,” who survived the
virus and gained superhuman powers
as a result. When a crazed former Civil
Security agent threatens to destroy the
final barrier that stands between Tokyo
and the virus-ridden wastelands, can
Rentaro and Enju protect a city that sees
her as part of the problem?

strike the blood
volume 1 (novel)
Gakuto Mikumo,
Manyako
The first volume of the light novel
series that inspired one of last
season’s most popular anime!
Kojo Akatsuki used to be an ordinary
high school boy—but that was before
he became the Fourth Progenitor, the
most powerful vampire of all time.
Worse—he doesn’t even remember how
it happened. Middle schooler Yukina
Himeragi, meanwhile, is the attack
mage sent to observe him—and to stop
him if he gets out of control. But was it
really a good idea to send a cute girl to
observe a massively powerful vampire
boy whose abilities activate whenever he
gets aroused? And on an artificial island
populated with all manner of demonic
individuals, each with their own designs
on the Fourth Primogenitor—!

ratings
Summary
The goal of the Yen Press rating system is to provide parents, librarians, and retailers with as much
information about the contents of our books as simply and concisely as possible. Ultimately, opinions
about appropriateness of content for a particular reader are a subjective matter and likely to vary from
person to person. However, this is a useful tool to give readers some sense of what they may expect.
Yen’s ratings are structured in two tiers: age ratings (A, T, OT, M) and content indicators (L, V, S, N).
Age ratings indicate a maturity threshold below which some parents or guardians may find the content
unsuitable. Content indicators provide insight as to the material within the book that prompted a
particular age rating. The frequency and/or severity of that material is reflected in the age rating.
AGE RATINGS
All Readers
An “A” rating indicates that the material contained within the book has been deemed unlikely to
be found inappropriate for any particular age group.
Teen
A “T” rating indicates that there may be content within a book that some parents or guardians
may consider inappropriate for children under the age of 13.
Older Teen
An “OT” rated book contains material that some parents or guardians may consider
inappropriate for readers under the age of 16.
Mature
An “M” rated book is intended for a mature readership and may be considered inappropriate for
readers under
age of 18.
