Where it came from
Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu, also known by its English title Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut, originated as a light novel series written by Keisuke Makino and illustrated by Karei. Published beginning in 2016, the story serves as an alternate-history reimagining of the Space Race, specifically drawing inspiration from the Soviet space program and the true story of Laika the space dog. Makino centers the narrative on the uneasy alliance between a human astronaut candidate and a vampire test subject, using this premise to explore themes of Cold War paranoia, systemic bureaucracy, and the pursuit of dreams under authoritarian regimes.
The aesthetic direction provided by illustrator Karei is characterized by a muted, grounded color palette that reflects the industrial grimness of the fictional Republic of Zirnitra. This visual identity was maintained when the series was adapted into an anime by Arvo Animation in 2021. Critically, the series was well-received for its unique blending of historical fiction with supernatural elements, noted for its melancholic atmosphere and the nuanced portrayal of the bond between its two protagonists rather than focusing on conventional genre tropes.
