On
the surface, Saya is a stunning 16-year-old, but that youthful exterior
hides the tormented soul of a 400-year-old "halfling." Born to a human
father and a vampire mother, she has for centuries been a loner
obsessed with using her samurai skills to rid the world of vampires,
all the while knowing that she herself can survive only on blood like
those she hunts. When she is sent onto an American military base in
Tokyo by the clandestine organization she works for, Saya immediately
senses that this may be her opportunity to finally destroy Onigen, the
evil patriarch of all vampires. Using her superhman strength and her
sword, she begins to rid the base of its evil infestation in a series
of spectacular and elaborate showdowns. However, it is not until she
forms her first human friendship in centuries with the young daughter
of the base's general that Saya learns of her greatest power over
Onigen may well be her ability for human connection.
