They should seriously considering making a full TV anime adaptation of this.

I've been reading the manga and up and it's one of the few vampire theme series I've enjoyed. Watched the live action movie before but that was crap.

Why would you make a horror series into a short? Are they going to try to scare us in 3-minute segments or something?..

Maybe it will be used as promotional material of some kind.

There's enough material that they can adapt this into 39-50 episodes if they tried.

This ain't even horror man.

I'm like 50+ volumes in (latest chapter of 48 days later, the sequel sequel of Higanjima), it's a fucking battle shounen.

By far the most retarded manga I've ever read (story goes from MC running away from vampires to fighting 30+ stories tall monsters and chopping off their head with one sword swipe).

why a short anime, 50 volume manga can spawn a 104 ep full anime series at lowest, by the way it feels it is going to have original story.
