A brief recap of Call of the Night season 1

Call of the Night Season 1 introduced a 14-year-old protagonist, Ko Yamori. Disenchanted with daily life and suffering from insomnia, Ko begins to wander the streets at night in hopes of stumbling upon something that gives him meaning. As fate would have it, he runs into Nazuna Nanakusa, a mysterious and eccentric vampire.

Intrigued by her, he seeks her out night after night after she shows him how freeing the night can be. Nazuna offers him respite from what troubles him. With each encounter, he becomes fascinated with the idea of becoming a vampire himself. However, to do that, he must first fall in love with one, i.e., Nazuna.

After quite a bit of hesitation and contemplation, the end of season 1 sees Ko decide to become a vampire by falling for Nazuna. At the other end, Nazuna is equally determined to have him fall for her.

What to expect from Call of the Night season 2 episode 1 (speculative)

Call of the Night season 2 episode 1 will likely pick up from where the previous installment ended - Ko and Nazuna's final decisions. Given how season 1 ended, the episode will likely off with an immediate test of Ko and Nazuna's convictions. This will be due to the presence of other vampires and a very possible reintroduction of the vampire hunter in Anko Uguisu.

Call of the Night season 2 episode 1 is also likely to delve into Nazuna's origin story, given that she has no memory of it, which will also serve as a weakness for her. At the other end, Anko will play a part in challenging Ko's budding feelings for Nazuna and his decision to truly become what she is.
