　In this book, readers are vampire hunters. One day, in the morning, our master, who trained us to be strong, is dead. He was killed by a vampire "Aku". We decide to kill him, so we look for him. After three years, we find Aku. He is hiding near a village in the mountains of Canada. We should choose how to defeat Aku.

Some Atama-ii books series’ endings don’t look happy. It means one choice makes our lives better or worse. And sometimes we can learn the importance of a friendship and an affection.
