Hilarious new vampire anime ‘Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right' drops first trailer
A vampire who's just a vampire in the lamest way possible — like a clumsy vampire who's bad at sucking blood? That's the outrageous premise behind Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right, the slice-of-life supernatural comedy anime coming next year that's inspired by Kyosuke Nishiki's popular manga. Even though the anime has only just dropped its first teaser trailer, fans are already falling in love with its colorful cast of weirdos, humorous take on the vampire mythos and overall playful aesthetic. Here's what you should know about the exciting new anime that could become your next favorite supernatural comedy. What is Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right? This is not your average gloomy and moody vampire story. Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right (original Japanese title: Chanto Suenai Kyuketsuki-chan) centers on Luna Ishikawa, a little bloodsucker who is just trying to be super cool and mysterious at her new school. The catch? Thing is, she's awful at being a vampire. She's short, clumsy, shy—and she can't even suck blood right. When her secret comes out, thanks to her classmate Tatsuta Ootori, he resolves to help Luna become the confident vampire she hopes to be. The mix of comedy, school setting, and light supernatural elements result in a series that casual viewers, slice-of-life fans, and those fed up with the typical vampire romantic drama will all love. Watch the first teaser trailer TVアニメ「ちゃんと吸えない吸血鬼ちゃん」ティザーPV The short teaser trailer provides fans with their first look at the anime's unique style and voice cast. Luna is voiced by Minami Tanaka, who's appeared in Zombieland Saga and Wasteful Days of High School Girls. Tatsuta is voiced by none other than Kensho Ono, a well-known voice actor seen in Kuroko's Basketball and Attack on Titan. The resulting animation is as cute and colorful as the original manga, boding well for the ongoing adaptation's fun and playful tone. Based on early fan reactions on social media, they're right — Luna has been described as adorably awkward and relatable. Vampire-chan anime staff and studio details The anime adaptation is being handled by Studio feel., the studio behind My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU and Tsuki ga Kirei.

Where to read the original manga If you don't want to wait for the anime, you can begin reading the manga today. Yen Press publishes the English version under the title Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right. It's an easy, often hilarious read with lots of cute scenes and character development packed in. The source material has a fantastic, off-beat world to draw from. As the new manga series on the block, 'Supanatural' has already developed an avid following for its complex and relatable protagonist and goofy take on vampire life. It's an ideal anime for admirers of Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, Aharen-san, or Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro. Why this Vampire Anime stands out in 2025 Though anime has a large variety of vampire tales, many tend to focus on action or drama. Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right has all that—and it's the comedy and heart that set it apart. Luna isn't a fighter. She's just hoping to make it through high school without making a fool of herself (too often). It's a real feel-good anime that stays away from darker concepts and centers on character-driven comedy. Filled with eye-catching colors, goofy wit, and poignant maturing experiences, this anime just might be the next under-the-radar success of 2025. So if you're a veteran of anime or just someone looking for an enjoyable show to chill out and watch after work, give this show a shot. A must-watch for comedy and slice-of-life fans Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right Gundam Witch is arguably one of the most anticipated titles coming in 2025 and has all the makings of a fun, unique and refreshing addition to the anime universe.
