1000 Years Old
Though enigmatic loner Pun has lived an exceedingly long life, he hasn't aged past about twenty-five. Yeah, Pun isn't some ordinary human. He has the blood of a vampire. Pun lives alone, modestly—like any regular person.…
In a world where vampires are supposed to be dark and brooding, Pun is a refreshing anomaly: a 900-year-old vampire who lives in a cramped apartment with his cat, obsesses over pork blood soup, and carries a rainbow of umbrellas to avoid the sun (which doesn't actually burn him). When curious university student Yoh—who is convinced aliens are real—stumbles into Pun's life, he becomes fascinated by the strange, sweet-tempered man who claims to be a vampire but can't seem to follow any of the classic rules. Yoh moves into the same building, determined to uncover the truth, and soon finds himself drawn into Pun's quirky world of blood soup stalls, unlikely friendships, and a love that defies time itself. But with a mysterious vampire brother lurking in the shadows and a past that Pun can't fully escape, their bond will be tested. Equal parts absurd comedy and tender romance, 1000 Years Old subverts every vampire trope to tell a story about finding meaning in fleeting moments—and proving that even a thousand years can't prepare you for love.
