Even monsters need families.
What are the "bamboo"?
They are from China.
They look just like us.
They live by night.
They drink human lifeblood, but otherwise keep their distance.
And every century, they grow white blooming flowers.
A boy name Kyo is saved from the precipice of death by Bamboo, a vampire
born of the tall grasses. They start an enjoyable, yet strange shared
life together, Kyo and the gentle Bamboo. But for Bamboo, communication
with a human being is the greatest sin.
