My Beloved Supper

Yoru is a vampire, a nocturnal predator living secretly among humanity. Yet unlike others of his kind who crave the taste of fresh blood above all else, his true passion lies in the culinary wonders of the human world. He finds himself utterly captivated by the aroma of rich stews, the savory appeal of freshly steamed meat buns, and the delicate sweetness of baked pastries. To Yoru, these everyday dishes are irresistible delicacies far more appealing than any traditional hunt. However, his supernatural nature presents a cruel biological barrier: a vampire's body cannot naturally digest human food. There is only one workaround to this agonizing limitation. Before he can enjoy even a single bite of his favorite meals, Yoru must first consume blood as a necessary appetizer to settle his stomach. Driven by his unwavering devotion to gastronomy, Yoru has developed a unique nightly routine. He prowls the darkness seeking out criminals and wrongdoers, sinking his fangs into those who deserve it most. This vigilantism is not born from a desire for justice, but rather a singular, mouthwatering motivation—securing the essential prerequisite for his beloved supper.
