and finds escape in the night streets, until he meets Nanakusa Nazuna ,
an enigmatic vampire who leads him to question his humanity and his deepest
desires.
A second
season full of nighttime emotions
With its
combination of supernatural romance, existential reflections, and immersive
aesthetics, Call of the Night promises to continue to
captivate its audience in this new season. If the first few nights were
intense, those to come promise to be even darker and more seductive.
