Yen Press has been publishing the manga simultaneously in English since its debut, and it describes the first volume:
Rumors revolving around The Book of Vanitas, a clockwork grimoire of dubious reputation, draw Noé, a young vampire in search of a friend's salvation, to Paris. What awaits him in the City of Flowers, however, is not long hours treading the pavement or rifling through dusty bookshops in search of the tome. Instead, his quarry comes to him...in the arms of a man claiming to be a vampire doctor! Thrust into a conflict that threatens the peace between humans and vampires, will Noé cast in his lot with the curious and slightly unbalanced Vanitas and his quest to save vampirekind?
Tomoyuki Itamura (Nisemonogatari, Owarimonogatari, Tsukimonogatari) is directing the anime at BONES, and Deko Akao (Noragami, Snow White with the Red Hair) is overseeing the series scripts. Yoshiyuki Itō (Concrete Revolutio, Carole & Tuesday) is the character designer and chief animation director.
Magatsu Wahrheit -Zuerst-, the television anime of the game, premiered in October 2020. Funimation streamed the series as it aired in Japan.
Funimation describes the story:
Based on the popular RPG game from KLab. In the Wahrheit Empire, humanity's spirit remains fragmented from a disaster in the past where many lives were lost to bloodthirsty monsters who were once summoned. But the fate of the capital is about to drastically change when shy transport worker Inumael and naive Empire soldier Leocadio get caught up in a smuggling incident.
Naoto Hosoda (The Devil Is a Part-Timer!, The Future Diary, Shuffle!) directed the anime at Yokohama Animation Lab (Miru Tights, Starlight Promises), and Hosoda also supervised the series scripts and co-wrote them with Yūichirō Momose (Africa Salaryman, Infinite Dendrogram, My First Girlfriend is a Gal). Akiko Sugizono designed the characters, and Hirotsugu Kakoi directed the art.
