Blood Hound (夜型愛人専門店−ブラッドハウンド−DX Yorugata Aijin Senmonten - Blood Hound - DX?) is a manga by mangaka Kaori Yuki. It is the story of naive, loudmouthed teenager Rion, who investigates a host club full of vampires when she suspects they must be related to the disappearance of a lot of people in the neighborhood, including her best friend. In the process she begins to befriend them, especially the leader Suou, with who she develops a romantic relationship. Ultimately, she figures out the vampires are not the cause of the disappearances, but her adventures with the vampires are only beginning.

There have been four chapters released so far in the Blood Hound series.

Vampire Host is a live-action television drama series loosely based on this manga.
