Yuki Kurosu is a first-year high school student in the day class at Kurosu Private Academy. As a member of the discipline committee, she is responsible for controlling the day class students who pursue the super elite, beautiful night class students of the school. However, she is also tasked with a special mission to keep the secret that all the night class students are vampires.

Kurosu Academy was founded with the goal of putting an end to the long-standing conflict between humans and vampires and restoring peace to the world. Yuki and fellow disciplinary committee member Rei Kiryu are indispensable to the academy as guardians tasked with ensuring the coexistence of the night class and day class.

To Yuki, the head of the Night Class, Kaname Kuran is the one who saved her life from a vampire 10 years ago, and is also someone she looks up to.
