The Vampire and the Chocolatier

"I'm definitely going to kill you-with the ultimate chocolate." "Mm? That murderous look on your face is pretty tempting too." A sweet-toothed vampire × a cheeky chocolatier bring you a decadent master-and-servant gothic sweets fantasy! Manga adaptation currently in the works! Also includes a special bonus short story and an exclusive preview of the manga adaptation's opening chapter! "Offer the ultimate sweetness-or die." In the mysterious city of Luvilia, where supernatural beings gather in the shadows, alchemist Alfred is on the verge of losing everything-his money, his home, even his life-when he is unfortunately saved by the vampire Shin. The price of that salvation? A binding contract of servitude. If Alfred runs, he dies. And the order given to him is absurd: Create chocolate so delicious it could make someone die from pleasure. Shin's only weakness is the sensation of truly feeling alive. Having long since grown tired of his endless existence, the vampire now seeks the ultimate ecstasy-a sweetness so overwhelming it might finally grant him death. Will Alfred succeed in crafting the perfect piece of chocolate first—or will he be reduced to ashes as a worthless failure? A dangerous and intoxicating battle unfolds between two men bound by obsession, temptation, and absolute control. May this meltingly sweet pursuit last forever-a gothic sweets fantasy of absolute master and servant! Author's Comment Nice to meet you, I'm Masanobu Serizawa. The two protagonists turned out even more handsome and beautiful than I imagined, and I'm incredibly grateful to Kyoh Kitazawa-sensei for bringing them to life so wonderfully. I packed this volume full of content, so I truly hope everyone enjoys this sweet and melting gothic fantasy.

"Without you, nothing can satisfy me anymore." "You're way too demanding!" Will an all-consuming desire lead to devotion... or destruction? Alfred's exquisite chocolates have become the talk of the town! Even Shin, the vampire bound to him by a contract of servitude, has fallen completely under their spell. Convinced that he's finally close to creating the ultimate chocolate capable of granting Shin his long-awaited death, Alfred couldn't be more delighted. But his excitement comes crashing down when a mysterious cursed talisman nearly kills him! Already devastated to discover that the culprit is an old friend, Alfred finds himself growing increasingly frustrated when Shin, his demanding master, angrily insists that he stop paying attention to anyone else. And that's when things take a terrifying turn. Shin's overwhelming obsession begins to distort the very nature of their contract, unleashing supernatural powers beyond control—and threatening to plunge the entire world into catastrophe! "Chocolate alone is no longer enough. Unless you're beside it, I'll never be satisfied." "You're way too selfish!" As the boundaries between servitude, obsession, and affection begin to crumble, will their burning desires lead to a love beyond reason... or the destruction of everything around them? A gothic fantasy of chocolate, obsession, and an absolute master-servant bond returns for a dangerously decadent second volume! Includes a brand-new bonus story written exclusively for this volume!
