Synopsis
Vampire Stories: Brother, is the first part of a two-part story that tells the fate of two brothers that are both descended from vampires. When the university friends of Sei (Yanagishita Tomo) and Midori (Suzuki airi) are savagely killed, the sudden tragedy leaves them stunned. Sei's older brother Ai (Kato Kazuki) then reappears after having gone missing five years earlier. He reveals to a confused Sei the shocking truth behind the murders, and of the destiny they must shoulder together as brothers: Ai tells Sei that he, like Ai, is a pure blood vampire and that he will turn at the age of 20. Sei has to choose to live or die and what lies in middle of his decision is his younger step sister, Midori, whom he cares for. What will Sei choose? Midori, his younger step-sister or Ai, his older vampire brother? To live or to die?
