The official website for Morning Two has announced that manga Devil's Line is getting an anime adaptation. A teaser website has also launched.

Synopsis
Anzai, half vampire, and Tsukasa, a normal school girl.

Vampires seem to be living among humans. Of course the government does not know of their existence, because their appearance does not differ from humans. They also do not need to drink blood, but when they get a craving or get angry, they can become uncontrollable monsters. (Source: MU)

The series is drawn by Ryou Hanada, that began its serialization on March 2013 via Morning Two. There are currently nine compiled volumes released, with tenth volume scheduled to go on sale on July 21. Devil's Line has been published in English by Vertical Inc. under the Vertical Comics imprint since May 24, 2016.

Synopsis doesn't look too tempting, but it's seinen and not shoujo, so maybe it iwll be ok.

Ummm... Not sure how I feel about this. The romance in this extremely awkward and cringe-y. On the other hand, the cop drama part of it actually isn't too bad. I hope the anime improves a bit on the art.

Ehhh I don't know what to say about this... well, its not like its giving me a bad vibe but it's giving me more of a mix bag, especially with the synopsis. Though I shouldn't judge it based on that alone, so we'll see how that goes.

Tho when the staff/studio/cast is announced along with the PVs I'll see if it sells me or not.

I've actually read the manga and it gives a fresh look on vampires. I really like it. And the romance is actually real and doesn't beat around the bush. But trust me it's not a twilight knock off. It's very gory with quite a lot of blood the transformations are awesome as well. So don't knock it because it's vampires.

But honestly didn't think it would get an adaption, love it when a manga you've picked up gets adapted suddenly. Can't wait.

I honestly won't knock it because of that, I'll give it a chance if there's anything I mostly do with the stuff I watch and at least a fair share to see if it seems more like something that I'll like.

I'm just skeptical at the concept because while I will admit it kinda gives Twilight vibes in a way, I won't really call it like that... its more like "Hmm I dunno." type of feel.

Sounds cool, I would like to see vampires with a fresh look!

What the...? I NEVER THOUGHT​THAT THIS WOULD GET AN ANIME, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I really like the manga's plot and art and this is a pleasant surprise.

To each their own, I guess. I can't stand how the romance is portrayed. I would have dropped it if it weren't for the non-romance parts.



But I certainly agree with you that it isn't a Twilight knock off.

Oh, no way.
I literally just finished reading all avaliable scans when I saw this!
Cool. Depending on the amount of episodes they give us, and who does the ost, this could turn out to be a masterpiece.

The manga itself is quite good, I usually hate vampire related martials but Devil's Line is more of a conspiracy thriller with vampirism vs vampire knight or something.

Definitely looking forward to this one. ☆

I think it might be Brain's Base, Servamp sold okay and is getting a new project, so why not adapt another vampire manga. Also, if it is Brain's Base prepare for a bad adaptation.

Whaaaat!? Did not expect that. No idea how would they handle this story. Now I'll probably have to reread the first chapters, cause I've forgotten the plot as a whole...Nah, if I remember nothing, then there probably wasn't much to remember to begin with
