History
where crime and the supernatural intersect
The game
The Case Book of Arne was
released in 2017 and has gained popularity for its fusion of detective
mystery, vampires, and gothic horror. The story follows Arne
Neuntöte, a vampire who works as a detective, and Lynn Reinweiß,
a young noblewoman fascinated by the creatures of the night.
Their paths
cross unexpectedly when Lynn arrives in the hidden city of Lügenberg,
a place inhabited by non-human beings. There, he meets Arne, nicknamed "the
worst vampire in town", just as a new and bloody crime occurs.
In a world
where humanity and the strange coexist, both will join forces
to unravel mysteries as dark as they are dangerous. "Come on, human.
You can dance happily under the crimson moon," the disturbing trailer
promises.
From
video games to manga and now to anime
In addition
to the game available in English through Steam, The Case
Book of Arne has a manga adaptation illustrated
by Soraho Ina, published by KADOKAWA since 2018 in
the Monthly Comic Gene magazine, aimed at the shōjo public.
Set for
release in January 2026 (local time in Japan), this adaptation
promises an addictive mix of mystery, gothic aesthetics, and
out-of-the-ordinary characters that will appeal to fans of the genre and new
viewers alike.
