A beautiful girl is lying on the road at night. Her blood has been sucked by Earl Dracula. In contemporary Japan, however, nobody would believe that she has been attacked by Dracula. So the residents who have found her take the assault to have been by an animal when they see the wounds, made by sharp teeth, on her neck. Moreover, it has been in the news that a tiger and a panda have escaped during transport and are wandering about the neighborhood. People think it is the tiger that has attacked her, and try to capture the panda and shoot the tiger. As Chocola has become friends with the animals, she gets angry with the people, wondering why they do not try to save both animals.
After living in Transylvania for several years, "Earl Dracula" (as Osamu Tezuka's official website calls him in English) has moved to Japan. In the Nerima Ward of Tokyo, he and his daughter, Chocola, and faithful servant Igor have taken up residence in an old-Western style house. While Chocola attends Junior High School, Earl Dracula is desperate to drink the blood of beautiful virgin women; an appropriate meal for a vampire of his stature. However, each night that Earl Dracula goes out on the prowl he finds himself getting involved in some kind of disturbance which leads to him causing various trouble for the local residents. With nobody in Japan believing in vampires, his very presence causes trouble amongst the people in town.
