Hey, who's this handsome lad on the cover! It's Yuichiro from Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign!

And now he's teamed up with a sadistic vampire noble. Plus, his childhood friend is a vampire and has bitten him. But as you can tell by the look of determination on this cover, he's not giving up! That's the Shonen Jump main character way!
