There are also sorcerers, witches, fairies and werewolves, there are other creatures from the other world: these are demons, elves, telepaths, maenads and Britons who are still unfamiliar to everyone. They are also otherworldly creatures that are called as their bodyguards by witches.
According to the plot of the series, an event occurred that allowed vampires to legalize. This was made possible thanks to the new invention of Japanese scientists. They create artificial blood. This synthetic blood substitute has been called "true blood". Now bloodsucker vampires can feel as respectable citizens as ordinary people, local residents. That's just not so simple.
