Vampire Game (吸血遊戯, Kyūketsu Yūgi) is a manga by the Japanese author and artist, Judal. It originally ran in Wings Manga Magazine - a monthly manga anthology in Japan. The series has 15 volumes in all. It was licensed in the U.S. by Tokyopop.
One hundred years ago, Vampire-King Duzell led a war against the humans and kingdom of Pheliosta. In the epic last battle, King Phelios defeated Duzell by using a powerful spell that sacrifices the caster, destroying Duzzel and himself thereof. As both laid dying, Duzell swore that they would be reborn in a century's time; Duzell would then find Phelios' reincarnation, and when he did, he would "drain his blood, rip his body limb from limb and laugh while his soul writhed, damned for eternity to a lake of fire." Ninety-eight years later, Duzell is reborn as a wildcat called a kyawl, building up his powers after a century-long slumber. The only way he can indentify Phelios is by the taste of his (or her) blood. Fifteen-year-old Princess Ishtar, Phelios' descendant, adopts the kitty by chance. After hearing of his true identity, she decides to help Duzell find the reincarnation of Saint Phelios so he can exact his revenge. Ishtar's got her own problems with the monarchy, and the spunky princess turns this tale into a comical, witty adventure of a search for, and desperate battle with, Phelios. It will span throughout the kingdom - and affect everyone in it. The fate of the ages is reborn, and the vampire game begins. Way to pass time, immortal Duzell.
