Vanitas no carte.

The Case Study of Vanitas Manga  (Japanese: ヴァニタスの手記カルテ, Hepburn: Vanitasu no Karute) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Jun Mochizuki. It has been serialized in Square Enix’s shōnen manga magazine Monthly Gangan Joker since December 2015. In North America, the manga is published in English by Yen Press.

At the end of the 19th century. The capital city of France – Paris – is in turmoil following repeated attacks by vampires. However, the golden rule of their community is not to attack humans! A mysterious evil seems to be eating away at these immortal creatures… It is in this troubled period that Noah arrives in the capital. Born a bloodsucker, he follows the trail of the grimoire de Vanitas, a legendary artifact feared by all vampires. It is said that it allows its holder to interfere with what is most sacred to them: the true name, the very symbol of their life. Altering it can drive them mad, or even destroy them… Onboard the huge floating ship on which he has embarked, Noah meets Amelia. As he helps her recover from a breakdown, everything goes haywire: she loses her mind and reveals her vampire nature to the passengers! That’s when a mysterious assailant enters the scene, introducing himself as… Vanitas! In front of a stunned Noah, he draws the famous grimoire and soothes the young woman’s madness. So the artifact is not just a deadly weapon?

The Case Study of Vanitas

Alt title: Vanitas no Carte

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?

i really love this manga. i like the vibe it gives. i am watching the anime too. but i really hope it wont turn out to be a 2nd pandora hearts. i love pandora hearts as well but the ending was too much for me. i hope it has a happy ending but kinda afraid after reading the proluge.

this shit is fucking amazing. edit: WHY IS THIS ON AN INDEFINITE HIATUS 

Oke, pertama-tama gue fujoshi dan suka banget nyari manga/anime bromance. Nah, kemarin-kemarin gue nemu review yang bilang ini anime worth to watch, so gue tontonlah sampe season 2 dan langsung kecewa berat. Why, because while being love-hate relationship, Vanitas dan Noe, masih diikat protagonis wanita, Jeanne. Jujur, kalau ga ada bumbu romanca Vanitas-Jeanne, ini bakal jadi anime favorit gue. Story-nya bagus, but, yah bagi gue yang fujoshi dan ga terlalu suka romansa antara dua protagonis, ini bukan anime yang cocok. Meskipun banyak banget hint Noe yang "suka" sama Vanitas, but hint kalau Vanitas "suka" sama Noe itu ga ada. Di akhir season 1 kelihatan banget Noe jatuh cinta sama Vanitas tapi ga diperjelas alias dibikin Noe cuma nganggep itu bukan cinta. Dan gue paling kecewa pas nonton season 2 karena banyak banget adegan romansa Vanitas-Jeanne yang bikin gue langsung ga suka sama animenya. Yah, banyak yang bilang ini anime bagus, emang, tapi bagi gue yang fujoshi, walau banyak bromance, ini gak worth it ditonton. Kalau kalian masokis fujoshi, silakan. Buat yang ga tahan rasa sakit, mending jangan.

There once lived a vampire known as Vanitas, hated by his own kind for being born under a blue full moon, as most arise on the night of a crimson one. Afraid and alone, he created the "Book of Vanitas," a cursed grimoire that would one day take his vengeance on all vampires; this is how the story goes at least. Vanitas no Carte follows Noé, a young man travelling aboard an airship in 19th century Paris with one goal in mind: to find the Book of Vanitas. A sudden vampire attack leads him to meet the enigmatic Vanitas, a doctor who specializes in vampires and, much to Noé's surprise, a completely ordinary human. The mysterious doctor has inherited both the name and the infamous text from the Vanitas of legend, using the grimoire to heal his patients. But behind his kind demeanor lies something a bit more sinister...

Centuries prior to the French Revolution, the " World Formula " theory was proposed by Paracelsus which posited that the world was governed by mathematical formulas whose variables could be identified and altered. He aspired to change these variables in an attempt to erase suffering and bring happiness to humanity, which resulted in the event known as " Babel ." Innumerable calamities rocked the world to its core, causing massive amounts of death, and once it subsided new entities came into being in the world, primely the Vampire species . Deemed abominations before God, normal humans attempted to wipe out these new beings, and a race war ensued. This attempted genocide failed and Vampires began to hide their existences which came to be believed as no more than myth and legend, despite dwelling only one step beyond the human world.

Noé Archiviste , a young vampire living in late 19th century France, is sent by his Teacher to Paris to find the Book of Vanitas and discover its true nature. Supposedly, the Book of Vanitas is a cursed grimoire created by the Vampire of the Blue Moon from which the incurable disease Malnomen originates. Noé successfully discovers the Book on his way to Paris, as well as the person possessing it—a human calling himself Vanitas who uses the grimoire to cure Malnomen. Vanitas declares his goal to be the salvation of the entire race of Vampires, and Noé accompanies him for his entire journey, wishing to understand the true nature of not only the Book but also the enigmatic owner who wields it.

The story consists of Noé's memoirs on how he would come to eventually kill Vanitas with his own hands.

Terminology [ ]

Vampires [ ].

Though referred to as "vampires," the Vampire race within The Case Study of Vanitas are distinct from mythical vampires, and were in fact named after them for having certain similarities. The main distinguishing feature between Vampires and humans is the ability of Vampires to see and interact with the World Formula , allowing them certain superhuman abilities. Unlike mythical vampires, Vampires within The Case Study of Vanitas do not have to drink blood or harm others to survive, and the vast majority go their entire lives without harming humans. While most (but not all) Vampires do enjoy the taste of blood, it is not a biological need, and is compared to alcohol, smoking, or sex. Compulsive blood drinking only occurs in the case of blood addiction or Malnomen .

Most Vampires are born under the Crimson Moon, and have a natural fear of the Blue Moon. Those who are born under the Blue Moon, as in the case of Vanitas of the Blue Moon , are scorned and ostracized by other Vampirekind.

The Book of Vanitas [ ]

A cursed grimoire supposedly passed on to Vanitas by Vanitas of the Blue Moon themself. It is the originator of the disease Malnomen, created in revenge against Vampires for their prosecution of those born under the Blue Moon. The human Vanitas now has the Book of Vanitas within his possession and is the only person capable of using it. However, contrary to the Book's original purpose, Vanitas uses it to cure cases of Malnomen and desires to save the Vampire race.

Malnomen [ ]

A disease created by Vanitas of the Blue Moon . It attacks the True Name of vampires, causing their bodies and souls to warp. Those infected with Malnomen, usually called curse bearers, gradually grow insane and begin to obsessively search for blood, escalating until they assault and even kill others without hesitation. In addition, their bodies will corrupt, though the onset of physical symptoms appear to happen rapidly in the final stages of the disease. Once warping of the body occurs, the curse bearer will continue to attack others until it dies. Until very recently, there was no possible way to cure those infected with Malnomen, and thus all curse bearers would be sentenced to execution by decapitation once their condition was discovered. The human Vanitas reverse engineers the different forms of Malnomen to find and restore the curse bearer's True Name, curing them.

The Case Study of Vanitas is written and illustrated by Jun Mochizuki and began serialization in Square Enix's monthly shōnen magazine Monthly Gangan Joker on December 2015. There are currently eleven tankōbon volumes collecting serial chapters released in Japanese. The series is licensed in English by Yen Press and published simultaneously with its Japanese release.

The Case Study of Vanitas is an anime television series adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Jun Mochizuki. On March 28, 2021, Aniplex announced at AnimeJapan an anime adaptation for the manga, animated by the studio BONES. It started broadcasting on July 2, 2021.

Stage Play [ ]

Stage "Vanitas no Carte" is a stage play adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Jun Mochizuki. Announced by the official Twitter account on October 28, 2021. The show was initially scheduled from January 21st to January 30th, 2022 at the THEATRE1010 (シアター1010), in Tokyo, Japan. An encore was performed from March 10th to March 12th, 2023 at the Sunshine Theater (サンシャイン劇場), in Tokyo, Japan.

Gallery [ ]

• "Vanitas" is an artistic term referring to a symbolic work of art showing the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death, often contrasting symbols of wealth and symbols of ephemerality and death. It derives from the Latin word "vānitās" which can translate to "emptiness," "nothingness," "falsity," or "vanity" in English. [1]
• The furigana for 手記 ( shuki , meaning "note" or "memo") is "カルテ" ( karute ), which translates to a patient's card or chart in a hospital on which is recorded any illnesses, treatments, and general medical history.
• Vanitas first appears in the final Pandora Hearts artbook 「There is.」 , shown waving to the main cast of Pandora Hearts as he passes by alongside Noé who had his back turned so that he remained unidentifiable at the time.

The Case Study of Vanitas Part 1 Episodes 1-4

Legend tells of a powerful Grimoire that all Vampires fear. One lone Vampire, Noe, has come to Paris to find it. To his shock and awe, he finds the Grimoire is in the hands of a Human named after the Vampire who created the Grimoire long ago: Vanitas. This eccentric and mysterious doctor enlists Noe’s help to deal with a string of Cursed Vampire outbreaks, hoping to find their source and use the Book of Vanitas to cure them all. It’s the noblest of quests…if these two incompatible souls can stay alive and not kill each other in the process.

What happens when you take Sir Aurther Conan Doyle’s legendary investigative duo, keep one human and make the other a Vampire, and then send them on adventures involving magically made berserker monsters? You get the Anime we’re starting with today at the Gundam Anime Corner: The Case Study of Vanitas. After doing a First Impression on it back at the start of the year, I knew I had to look into it further. I hadn’t even heard of The Case Study of Vanitas until my friend told me they were working on cosplays from it. Turns out, I might have been missing out on another hidden gem classic lost in the seasonal Anime shuffle. Vanitas might still have some growing pains to sort out but four episodes in, I’m ready to bite into more of it. Which is good because sometimes it can be tough to get me into new/non franchise established IPs. Which means it’s already off to a promising start.

The Case Study of Vanitas is a little out of the ordinary for a Vampire centric epic. There’s scares and creepy imagery for sure but I think the true test of its entertainment power is going to come down to it’s two leads: Noe and Vanitas. Vanitas is easily my favorite of the pair. From his very first appearance, this blue eyed gentleman makes it clear this is his show and the entire world is his stage. He’s got a flair for the dramatic, a penchant for getting in over his head, and the guise of a crazy eccentric that everyone takes for granted. He’s charismatic, devious, kind of a jerk but all the while he’s a thrill to watch. His hella hot romantic tension with Jeanne, one of the many femme fatales in this show, is classic steamy Vampire lust at its finest. Forget the cheesy teen drama stuff, this his how Vampires are supposed to get it on, be it with one of their own kind or with a human.

As for Noe, yeah he’s no Vanitas. It seems the intro episodes have the Vampire who looks like Loran from Turn A Gundam in one of two settings: wide eyed wonder at the sights of Paris or a very Final Fantasy looking airship (this was worked on by Square Enix so big shock there), or just blank stare in shock. There’s little in between and when Vanitas has all the energy to make you forget Noe is even a character a times, that’s kind of a problem. It doesn’t help that Noe has some very bare basic character tropes like having lost a childhood friend to the dark side or death or both, who is likely still alive and will probably be an enemy he and Vanitas have to confront in the future. The most interesting aspect of Noe’s character is his Vampiric heritage. While seeing memories from blood isnt totally new to Vampire lore, those from Noe’s clan are the only ones who can do so and it runs the risk of him draining someone dry depending on how far back he has to dive to find a particular memory. I’m just saying, give the guy some energy and not just having him staring like he’s in standby mode while Vanitas takes all the on screen glory.

But this show isnt just about handsome bishonen boys going on adventures in Paris. The Case Study of Vanitas also introduces a pair of potential love interests for both leading me and theyre both bad ass and easy on the eyes. For Vanitas, it’s Jeanne, a lethal bodyguard for a young Vampiric Noble. She bears the sickly designed Crimson Gauntlet which she can use to rip anything to shreds while it drives her into a bit of a frenzy. Honestly, I’m with Vanitas on this one. Jeanne is so beautiful and deadly that it’s impossible not to fall for her at first sight. And as I said, the couple of up close and personal encounters they have are hotter than hell. As for Noe, he has the drop dead gorgeous Dominique, or Domi as he nicknames her. It’s hard to get a read on Domi. She and Noe have history, being childhood friends and Domi calling herself Noe’s “fiancée”. She even leashes him with a dog collar…because Vampires are kinky like that? But is playfully playing her own game or does she truly care about Noe? The scene where she allows Noe to drink her blood is as intense as any of Vanitas and Jeanne’s scenes. Still, need a bit more time to feel out this lovely creature of the night.

There’s a lot of expositonal backstory told through fairytale and folklore books in the premeire of the series. The world of Vampires is split between those of Red and Blue eyes, with the Red casting out the Blues for their rare “genetic disorder”. There’s also a bit where Vampiric origins come from an alchemist fooling around with formulas between worlds? Yeah that one kind of went over my head. And even though the Vampire City of Altus, aka Vampire Paris, is pretty, still don’t see why we need two separate worlds for Vampires and Humans when theyre supposed to be living in semi harmony in the Human world. That said, the corruption of a Vampires name by Charlatan is no joke and easily provides some of the scariest visuals on the show. So it’s a good thing, and a truly epic moment, when Vanitas declares to the world of Vampires at their ball that while he possesses the book that can curse them, he isnt planning on doing that. He instead wants to use the Vanitas Grimoire to save Vampire kind and stick it to the OG Vanitas who gave him his book and name…if that’s even really the case. I’m fine with his goals but I doubt the OG Vanitas would let Vanitas have his Grimoire if he knew he wanted to save the creatures who cast him out…is the OG Vanitas even still alive btw?

Before I close out, I’ve gotta say that the overall presentation of The Case Study of Vanitas is gorgeous, shouldn’t be a big surprise since Studio Bones (Rahxephon, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood) are handling it.. The shining lights at night and the always great vistas of Paris go hand in hand in creating a stage like atmosphere for Vanitas’ stage of choice. There isnt a tremendous amount of action in the first four episodes but what’s there is fine, if a bit too brief. Noe facing off against Jeanne and her Crimson Gauntlet was probably the highlight of the premiere for me. As if that wasn’t enough, I’m getting another major bonus with Vanitas with my girl Yuki Kaijura handling the music. It’s been a minutes since I’ve heard one of her OSTs and she’s perfectly fit to handle a world of eccentric Vampiric Noblemen and the dangerous and sexy adventures they find themselves in.

If most of the review hasn’t spelled it out, I have high hopes for this show after the first four episodes. Noe could do a bit more to stand out rather than just stand around when a fight scene isnt going on. But Vanitas is doing the heavy lifting and more with ease as the more interesting of the two characters. With a powerhouse studio handling the visuals, a top notch Anime music composer and a few lovely femme fatales backing it up, I think we’re in for a wild ride with Vanitas and Noe this month. Check back Next Monday for more of The Case Study of Vanitas right here at the Gundam Anime Corner.

Texas oil regulator under scrutiny as zombie wells gush back to life

On a sprawling ranch in Pecos County in late July, oil well control specialist Hawk Dunlap used a backhoe to uncover an abandoned or so-called zombie well that had sprung back to life despite being plugged just over a year earlier, hissing gas and bubbling toxic water into the dry Texas dirt.
