The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess light novel is published in Japan by SB Creative’s imprint GA Bunko with Yen Press releasing the series in English. Kotei Kobayashi and Riichu also collaborate on a mange version that runs in Monthly Big Gangan. The 10th volume of the light novel releases in Japan on January 14 with the fourth volume releasing in English on April 18. Yen Press describes the first volume as such:
A homebody’s worst nightmare!
Three years into her life as a shut-in, vampire Terakomari Gandesblood (Komari for short), awakens to find she’s been appointed as a Commander in the Mulnite Imperial Army! The thing is, her new unit consists solely of belligerent ruffians who revolt against their superiors at the slightest hint of weakness. Although Komari hails from a line of vampires as powerful as they are prestigious, her refusal to drink blood has made her the picture of mediocrity—scrawny, un-coordinated, and inept at magic. With the odds stacked against her, will the help of her trusty (and slightly infatuated) maid Vill be enough for this recluse to blunder her way to success? Or will Komari rue the day she ever left the safety of her room?
The TV anime of The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess is scheduled to broadcast in 2023.
