Dance in the Vampire Bund (Japanese: ダンス イン ザ ヴァンパイアバンド Hepburn: Dansu in za Vanpaia Bando?) is a supernatural drama manga series written and illustrated by Nozomu Tamaki (環望 Tamaki Nozomu?). The manga was serialized in Media Factory's seinen manga magazine Monthly Comic Flapper between 2005 and 2012, and is licensed for publication in English by Seven Seas Entertainment.
Three sequels, Dive in the Vampire Bund, Dance in the Vampire Bund: The Memories of Sledgehammer, and Dance in the Vampire Bund II: Scarlet Order, were published between 2009 and 2015. All three series, as well as two dōjinshi collections, have been licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment.
The plot follows the emergence of vampires into the human world and explores how fear on both sides changes the world's status quo as they come into conflict with those who desire peace.
A 12-episode anime television series, produced by Shaft, was aired in 2010.
The story revolves around Mina Țepeș, Princess-Ruler of all vampires, and her werewolf protector Akira Kaburagi Regendorf. Like other vampires, Mina has been in hiding with her people for many years. Seeking to end centuries of isolation, Mina gains permission to create a special district for vampires called "The Bund" off the coast of Tokyo, Japan by paying off the entire national debt of the Japanese government with her family's vast wealth.
