The Earthquake destroyed everything we know. A woman with a misshapen face rummages through piles of rubble and corpses, looking for valuables. She is caught by a lynch mob, who regard her as a bad omen and hang her with other criminals. Six feet under, she watches as the bodies of the other victims bloat, rot and are consumed by worms.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })But the Earth rejects her: the woman, Rakuda, is a vampire.The Laughing Vampire is a two-volume manga by Suehiro Maruo. Book One recounts how, years later, Rakuda finds a kindred spirit in a high school student named Konosuke Mori, and turns him into another vampire. Konosuke's transformation has repercussions on the lives of two of his classmates: Luna Miyawaki, a girl who, scared by a childhood incident, has a deep loathing of everything sexual and compares sex with being bitten by a vampire, and Sotoo Henmi, an ordinary-looking loner who is secretly an arsonist with necrophiliac fantasies, and keeps a journal titled The Laughing Vampire.Book Two moves away from the school setting and introduces new characters. Rakuda and her cohorts have attracted the attention of another group of vampires, who do not tolerate competition. Center to the story is Miko Takibana, a mysterious girl who ate insects and disappeared eight years ago.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Disposing of a Body: Vampires tend to just leave their victims where they lie or toss the bodies in the first place it's convenient to dump them. However, the two encountered by Mori, Luna, and Rakuda in the second book have an underground cave with a deep pool of water where they dispose of their victims.

D-Cup Distress: Downplayed in an early chapter where Luna, while showering, ruefully notes that her breasts are getting bigger.

Disposable Sex Worker: Interestingly averted: you'd think street walkers would be natural prey for vampires, but the vampires in this story can identify people with STDs and avoid their blood.
