Bloody Mary
608
Bloody is a vampire unlike any other that Ichirou Rosario di Maria has met. He has red hair and red eyes, refuses to drink blood or hurt humans, and cannot die even when exposed to sunlight. The two meet when Bloody rescues Ichirou from a group of vampires who desire the coveted "Blood of Maria" running through his veins—its delicious scent lures in vampires like a siren call, which has caused Ichirou recurring problems. After defeating the low-level nuisances, Bloody begs Ichirou, whom he calls "Maria," to finally end his interminable life. At first, Ichirou is skeptical that Bloody is as harmless as he seems, and does not know why he would be able to successfully kill a seemingly immortal vampire. As it turns out, Bloody has him confused with another "Maria"—Isaac Rosario di Maria—a famed priest and exorcist who lived four hundred years ago. Ichirou inherited the cross-shaped rosario that his grandfather carried, and should possess the same ability to exorcise even the strongest vampires—such as Bloody—but is unfortunately unaware how to call upon his dormant powers. Determined to survive the repeated attacks on himself, Ichirou makes a deal with Bloody, who he renames "Mary"—until the day comes that Ichirou can fulfill Mary's death wish, the vampire must do everything he can to protect this single human.

Mr. Mallow Blue
936
Shizuki Aoi entered high school and thought he found a new, lifelong friend in fellow first-year Kanata Takemiya. However, as a result of their meeting, Aoi dropped out at the age of 16 and left home at the age of 20. Now, he lives alone in a cramped Tokyo apartment that he rarely exits, poorly coping with depression and a broken heart. Meanwhile, Tsumugi Sakura attends high school in the distant Kanagawa prefecture. She stands out among her peers due to her gloomy nature and vibrant violet hair. While she is overtly bullied by her classmates, only the handsome Subaru Minazuki will intervene on her behalf, but she is far from grateful to him. Little does she know, Minazuki has his own reasons for singling her out. Aoi and Sakura both believe that life will not improve as long as they remain the same. If only they could switch places with someone else! But when the miraculous happens, they fail to appreciate just how little their situations differ from before. Like tea made from the blue mallow flower, which transforms in color but not taste, the two have yet to change in a way that truly matters. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
