Summary
When Aoi Shirase learned that her brother was killed while in service to the army, only her childhood friend Shuutarou Kurusu was there to comfort her. And so, when Shuutarou is drafted as an escort for dangerous goods, Aoi implores him simply not to die. Yet, despite his vow, she later loses him to the battlefield. Unable to cope with this tragedy, Aoi clings to the hope that Shuutarou is still alive since his body is never returned to her.

Unbeknownst to Aoi, Shuutarou had been attacked and involuntarily transformed into a vampire. He is enlisted into the military's special unit, "Code Zero," alongside fellow monsters who hunt their own kind. With a mission to hunt down any superhuman dangers to Tokyo's populace, Shuutarou is surprised to frequently run into Aoi. For some reason, she is drawn to vampires, both in and out of her job as an investigative reporter.

Unable to reveal his fate, Shuutarou resolves to watch over Aoi from a distance—but is there any point to protecting a loved one whose only wish is never to have been parted?

This is a tale about humans and vampires. Taishou Romantism: the blooming era. Ladies and gentlemen chat in cafes about the avant-garde and other European trends. But this tranquil lifestyle is destroyed, when vampires start to randomly attack the living. The government of Japan has known about their existence for some time now, but now that these creatures start their hunt against the humanity, the Japanese government creates "Code Zero," a corps that is created to get rid of the bloodthirsty undead.

Mars Red is getting an anime adaptation in 2021 and you should be looking forward to it. Have you ever seen an anime and a manga that have been adapted from a dramatic stage play? Anyways, the manga takes place in an alternate version of Japan in 1923, which is also the timeline you will not see that often. In this year, vampires have existed for many years already thanks to the invention of the artificial blood: humans have their lives, vampires have more than enough blood to live and they lived happily ever after. Not really. Vampires’ numbers have started to increase, as well as there have been many reported cases of vampires killing humans. For people to survive, the Japanese government creates "Code Zero," a corps that is to get rid of the bloodthirsty undead.

With that being said, there are still far too many questions that have not been addressed yet, but one thing is obvious: Mars Red is a very unique manga, with the art somewhat similar to the game called Code Vein and a storyline good enough that will surely make the anime adaptation a huge success.
