The Undead Murder Farce anime adaptation, which premiered on July 5, has received a trailer and a visual for its “Vampire Arc,” which involves the murder of a human-friendly vampire. The visual is illustrated by the anime’s original character designer Iwamoto05.
Undead Murder Farce (alternatively titled Undead Girl Murder Farce in some other places) is based on the Kodansha-published novel series written by Yuugo Aosaki with cover illustrations by Oh!Great. The supernatural mystery anime is streamed by Crunchyroll, Ani-One Asia, and Bilibili outside of Japan.
Kodansha USA describes the Haruka Tomoyama-drawn manga adaptation of the novels as:
The end of the 19th century—a vampire’s wife is murdered, and the detective known as the “cage user” is called in to solve the crime. But there’s more to the detective and the curtained birdcage he carries…after all, when solving a case involving a monster, it might just take one to know one!

Also part of the staff are Naho Kozono (Shine On! Bakumatsu Bad Boys co-sub-character designer) as sub-character designer and chief animation director, and yuma yamaguchi as music composer. Lapin Track is the animation production company.
