Rosario + Vampire Capu2: A second season is currently in development and scheduled to air in October 2008. It will continue the story of the first 13-episode series and introduce more characters from the manga as well as new anime-exclusive characters.
PLOT:
Tsukune Aono is a painfully average high school freshman who is unable to get into any private school, due to his disappointing test scores. The only school he is finally accepted into turns out to be a secret school for supernatural monsters who are in disguise as humans. The first student he meets is the beautiful Moka Akashiya, who becomes his friend for an unusual reason; she is a vampire, and is attracted to the sweet taste of his human blood. Tsukune quickly realizes his admission into a monster school must have been a mistake and fears for his life.
Despite Moka's vampiric nature, she is a kind girl and Tsukune quickly falls for her. He decides to stay and be near her, despite the various dangers. He must hide his human identity from the faculty and other students, while trying to keep his grades up and avoiding conflicts with the various not-so-mythological monsters lurking around campus. Tsukune soon discovers that when he removes the "rosario" around Moka's neck, she transforms into a super-vampire, stronger and more powerful than almost any other creature at the school. However, in this state, she has an entirely different personality, often cold and merciless, so the rosario is only removed in dire emergencies. Tsukune is the only person who can physically remove it to transform Moka, and only in the case of an emergency (the rosario remains physically bound to Moka, while Tsukune attempts to willfully remove it in a moment immediately preceding, and sometimes interjecting - a malignant situation). Tsukune and Moka make new friends and enemies as their stay at Yokai Academy progresses.
Characters:
Tsukune Aono
The male protagonist of the series, Tsukune Aono is mistakenly enrolled in an academy for monsters. He soon meets Moka Akashiya, a vampire who takes an interest in him, due to the sweet taste of his blood (an ongoing gag that occurs throughout the series with her catching Tsukune off-guard and biting him on the neck). Fearful for his life and ready to leave the school, it is only his affection for Moka that gets him to continue attending Yōkai Academy
Moka Akashiya
Moka Akashiya is the first person Tsukune meets when he sets foot in the yōkai realm. Exceptionally sweet and kind, Moka is a vampire, and takes a liking to Tsukune, after ingesting his blood, and becomes addicted in doing so. When the rosario around her neck is removed, the seal keeping her true nature is released. Cold and arrogant, the inner Moka is a completely different entity from the kind, loving Moka, going so far as to specifically remind Tsukune to "be kind to the other Moka".
Kurumu Kurono
Kurumu Kurono is a succubus, and is initially jealous of Moka's popularity overshadowing her own. She tries to seduce Tsukune and the male student body, using her charming techniques (through her succubi abilities, including her busty physique), making them her slaves. This is so she can find her "mate of fate", in order to save her diminishing species, with the assumption that Moka is blocking her path. After Tsukune persuades the unsealed Moka to spare her, she becomes infatuated with him and makes a decision that he will be her "mate of fate", becoming friends with the pair. Described as a tough character, Kurumu sports a pair of bat wings, tail and razor-sharp nails in her true form, and has notable body strength (seen when carrying people during flight). Also, as the manga and anime continue, Kurumu's succubi powers become stronger and her powers over men become stronger as well
Yukari Sendo
Yukari Sendo is one of the smartest students at Yokai Academy, and the youngest at age 11. Yukari is a witch, and always wears a typical witch costume (which consists of a hat and cape), though considered by some students to be a violation of the school rules. Despite ranking #1 on the examinations, she was a lonely prankster before meeting Tsukune and Moka. She initially hates Tsukune, claiming to have fallen in love with Moka, and uses her magical powers to try to drive them apart
Mizore Shirayuki
Mizore Shirayuki is a yuki onna. Keeping in line with Japanese mythological creatures, she has the ability to control the element of ice at will, and can form clones composed of the previously said element. Frequently seen with a lollipop in her mouth (which is done because snow girls are weak to the heat and do so to keep their bodies cool), Mizore returns to school after a delayed absence and shows an immediate interest in Tsukune. In truth, she becomes infatuated with him, going so far as to create her own journal/scrapbook with all of his newspaper articles. She once confessed to a teacher she liked him, until he began to take advantage of her, thus she froze him. With the incident and rumors spreading about her, Mizore made it hard for herself to trust anyone, but took a liking to Tsukune, believing he was just as miserable as she was. She eventually warms up to the others, after Tsukune intervenes when the same teacher returns to kill her. Unfortunately, Mizore begins stalking Tsukune on a daily basis
Ruby Toujyou
A witch from the human world, Ruby Dojo was part of a plot to destroy mankind as a response to a large garbage dump that was polluting her master's sanctuary. Her hate for humans stems from a car accident that took her parents' lives. After receiving help from Tsukune and his friends from a fight, and remembering the kind of love her parents had given her, she attempts to persuade her master to call off her plan, but to no avail, as her master was bent on destroying the human world. Ruby reappears when Tsukune becomes out of control in his ghoul-state, and helps the exorcist in sealing his abilities. She now resides at Yokai Academy, as the board chairman's aide and continues to work for him in the second manga serialization. Despite not being an official student, she receives permission to become a member of the newspaper club.
Kokoa Shuzen
Introduced in the new series, Cocoa is the younger half-sister of Moka. She has a similar appearance to Moka, except she sports orange hair and cyan eyes. Kokoa came to the academy looking for Moka, and saved Tsukune from a wild beast when they first meet. Mirroring Moka's and Tsukune's first encounter, Kokoa tastes his blood and immediately develops a craving for it. When Tsukune tells Moka about her, she immediately ran to the newspaper club to warn everyone, but she discovered that Cocoa has already joined. The two then engage in a violent, yet brief, battle in which Tsukune is injured. Like Moka, Cocoa is a super-vampire, but her powers are not sealed. She has a pet bat that can transform into various weapons and wields enough strength to easily defeat the Outer Moka. She hates Outer Moka for taking away Inner Moka, whom she adores. She constantly attacks Moka in order to draw out Inner Moka, it is unknown if Cocoa knows that Moka's seal can not be removed by Moka herself. She later begins to begrudgingly accept the presence of Outer Moka, but still does not like her. Cocoa values her vampire race highly. Like Inner Moka, she views other monsters as weaklings compared to vampires and is highly arrogant about it.
