Blood Type V is a One-Shot manga that was released in the Shounen GanGan 2009-002 issue. It deals with people who have different blood types than the normal A, B, AB, and O. These "strange bloods" also possess special abilities related to their blood.

Plot: Mikoto Hiiragi is a regular high school student at a mission school. He was just living normally within the school, but noticed that his blood had the power to heal wounds and cause plants to grow on contact. He was out on lunch break after healing someone with his blood when suddenly a girl named Tomoe Umehara started assaulting him, claiming that she will "Take (his) blood without leaving a single drop." Umehara is also a strange blood who can tear apart objects using her blood. After a chase which destroys a good portion of the mission school, Hiiragi gives up and allows her to take his blood, on the condition of receiving the answer to what is his blood and why she needs it. Umehara tells him that he has the blood type V, which stands for Vita, meaning life in Latin. He is known to the outside world as a Sorcerer of Life, and his blood is very valuable to a group of people who plan to use the strange blood for research to find the strongest type. They were handing out a large sum of money to anyone who collects all of the strange bloods. Umehara's blood type is t, which stands for tear, and so her blood tears apart anything it comes into contact with. As Umehara finishes explaining everything to Hiiragi, another strange blooded person intervenes in the conversation. His name is Renji, and he has the blood type R, which has the power to rot anything it comes into contact with.He then recognizes Umehara and her blood type, and starts assaulting her with his blood. Umehara moves Hiiragi away and tears the ground underneath Renji, only to discover that she missed and Renji was able to use his blood-soaked hand to grab her side, which began rotting immediately and causing pain to her. Renji then approached Hiiragi, and Umehara pleaded Hiiragi to not give Renji his blood, but Hiiragi offered his blood regardless. He then faked and dropped his blood on the ground, which caused the tree to grow out of the soil towards Renji. Renji was stunned as the growing tree barely missed him, and Umehara and Hiiragi escape. After escaping, Umehara described most of her childhood as being depressing and lonely, but Hiiragi offers to fix any tears made by her power. As soon as they exchange names and shake hands, Hiiragi collapses from lack of blood. Umehara is then attacked by Renji, who had found their hideout. She tries to escape, drawing Renji's attacks away from the immobile Hiiragi. A dog, who Hiiragi is shown to take care of in the beginning pages, runs up to him and offers him his blood. Hiiragi drinks the blood, and takes on a demon-like form. He then uses new trees to stab through Renji and deliver his healing blood to Umehara, who Renji had beaten in combat before and was rotting her neck with his blood. Renji then comments "I'll prove to you that all living things eventually rot," and sets up a defense against Hiiragi's advancing tree limbs. As the tree limbs strike Renji's blood, they start to decay at the tip. Hiiragi then reassures himself that "What's in my body isn't just one life! Pierce through it!"The tree branches then start growing from the rotten parts and fatally pierce Renji. Renji dies. Hiiragi is then shown telling Umehara about the dog that saved his life, and then he finds its corpse. Hiiragi then tries to save him, but Umehara elucidates that he is too late, and offers the idea of burying him. They dig a grave and bury the dog's corpse. Umehara then tells Hiiragi that "the dog's blood is inside you, so don't die too easily". She then states that her blood is like a curse to her and there might be a strange blood who could heal her, and that she could use Hiiragi as bait to lure them in. Hiiragi heavily objects to this, but Umehara points out that he will be targeted anyway because of his blood, and offers to be his bodyguard. Hiiragi then decides that there is no point in arguing, and splatters his blood across the field, causing flowers to cover the area. The manga then ends.
