There is also a manga adaptation by Anri Skano, serialized on Kadokawa Shoten. Yen Press is publishing both light novels and manga in English. The second season of the anime will adapt volume 3 of the light novel and you can read the synopsis below:
Deep within the Lawless City lies the Blood Queen, an Ancestor Vampire, sleeping in her coffin for many moons. An expert at getting himself into trouble, Cid should have known better than to go after her… but he longed to get in on the action. It’s time for him to shed his daytime persona to take on the role of Shadow! However, it seems he’s not the only one with this idea. Soon, he discovers that the three rulers of Lawless City—Juggernaut the Tyrant, Yukime the Spirit Fox, and Crimson the vampire—are all on his tail. Things get even more complicated when the Dark Garden appears as the moment of the Blood Queen’s awakening is getting closer and closer…
