During an airship ride to Paris, the vampire Noé Archiviste meets Vanitas, a human claiming to be a doctor for vampires, curing them of the malnomen, which cause vampires to behave predatorily against their will. The book with which he heals, The Book of Vanitas, is connected to the original Vanitas, the Vampire of the Blue Moon, hated by the Vampires of the Red Moon who form traditional vampire society. Noé and Vanitas join forces to heal vampires, but there lurks a threat of some unknown force named Charlatan, which may be responsible for corrupting the sick vampires.
