Kinryo Rock - Code Amrita Vol. 1

Vampires and drugs collide in the first volume of the Code: Amrita saga of Kinryo Rock. What is the mysterious 'Amrita'? Five years after vampires reveal themselves, they can walk among humans—at least within six sanctioned districts where order is kept by a new power structure and a hedonistic underworld. In Kinryo Rock, a mature, hard-edged urban fantasy, a world where nightlife, factional rivalries, and the lure of power pivot on the rhythm of rock and roll. This volume introduces Bingo Morihashi’s high-stakes storytelling and Manabu Akishige’s dynamic, manga-inspired art as they chronicle a society on the cusp of change. As factions clash and the meaning of ‘Amrita’ unfolds, readers glimpse a future where humanity and vampiric power wrestle for control, dignity, and survival in a world that never stops turning to the music.
