Author's note
"I'm on my way home from Shanghai. Just like when I visited Germany, when I go to new cities and countries, I can't help but think about what kinds of vampires would live there and what kind of story could be told about them."

- Takaya Kagami

"Starting with this volume, more of the mystery surrounding the vampires' side of the story comes to light. How do you like it so far? I'm having a lot of fun drawing it."

- Yamato Yamamoto

Cover Details
Volume thirteen's cover shows Kureto appearing satisfied while wielding his Cursed Gear sword, Raimeiki. Depicted in color, Kureto has near black hair and brown eyes. His navy blue Japanese Imperial Demon Army uniform that he wears also has red features, such as the interior of the cape. His weapon glows with the yellowy green electricity that Raimeiki can generate, which cackles and surges outwards more to his left. While it spreads in various directions, the lightning does not cover Kureto's face.

Appearing in the final chapter of the volume, Kureto is preparing for his coup against his father Tenri Hīragi in Shibuya. Where there is a grey wall behind Kureto, there appears to be a hole blown through it. In chapter 57 of Volume 144, Chains were used in the fight by Tenri, in addition to a beam emitted by Abaddon above the Fifth Trumpet.
