The Call of the Night manga, written and illustrated by Kotoyama, started serialization in August 2019. It won the 68th Shogakukan Manga Award in the shonen category, along with Ao no Orchestra (Blue Orchestra). Viz Media has licensed the manga in English, describing the plot as:
One sleepless night, Ko slips out to walk the streets. Life after dark is a revelation! When flirtatious Nazuna invites Ko to spend the night at her place in an abandoned building, he’s stoked! But then he awakens to kisses on his neck with a little too much bite to them… Is it just the delicious taste of his blood that makes her meet him night after night for late-night adventures, conversation and…naps? Or something else? Then, when a cute girl from Ko’s past shows up and competes for his attention, his budding relationship with the undead is put to the test!
