It was revealed on the latest cover of Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Gene magazine that vampire shoujo manga Servamp will be getting an anime adaptation. The series is both written and illustrated by Strike Tanaka and began publishing in June 2011. It is serialized in Comic Gene magazine and has seven volumes, six side-stories, and three drama CDs as of July 2015.

Synopsis
The story revolves around a 16-year-old boy (15 at the beginning of the story) named Mahiru Shirota who likes simple things and dislikes difficult things. One day, he picks up a stray black cat he finds in the middle of the road and gives it the name Kuro (which literally translates into "black"). From this moment on, a contract between the servamp Sleepy Ash and Mahiru is formed, and Mahiru is pulled into the Servamp war between the seven deadly Servamps and their eighth sibling Tsubaki.

Update July 15
Cast members were announced via the official Twitter.

Kuro: Yuuki Kaji (Shingeki no Kyojin)
Mahiru Shirota: Takuma Terashima (Log Horizon)
Misono Arisuin: Hiro Shimono (Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai)
Snow Lily: Kazuma Horie (Special A)

As long as it doesn't have characters like Mika, (or Yuu for that matter) it might be a decent watch.

It will be a masterpiece, like the best thing I have ever seen in my life.

I've read the first 7 chapters orso. They seem to establish the plot and antagonists in the first few chapters. Not really sure where they went from there, it honestly seemed like it was built to be one of those 20 chapter series that are good but end up getting axed. So it must've developed more (scans are only out for a bit of it), I'll give it a go once it comes out.

This manga looks like Battle Shounen to me.

Because it was published in a shoujo magazine. Shoujo, Shonen, Josei and Seinen have absolutely nothing to do with content.

Absolutely nothing?Come on...You are saying to me that you would see same kind of stories in a magazine aimed towards 13 years old girls and another magazine aimed towards adult/young-adult males?

That wouldn't be surprising. As an artist who needs to sell to make ends meet, you go to any place that pays you. For example, K-On was serialized in a seinen magazine and Aria in a shounen one. Go figure.

Some titles also aren't that clear-cut. Take a story that would usually go to a shounen mag, up the gore a notch and you can sell it to a seinen mag. Take a story for shounen mags, draw the boys in an extra cutesy way and a shoujo mag will probably buy it.

I highly doubt a cast change seeing how recent the drama and chara songs are.

Comic Gene is a shoujo magazine yet it's marketed as a shounen magazine for female readers.
There are shounen battle and fighting titles where guys will appeal to female readers.

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Another Shoujo that feels like a Shounen (no romance either)? Then it's worth a watch.

This describes any person that age. Seriously. Don't believe me? Ask a teenager. They know everything anyway.

Huh, had never heard of it until now. Looks like it could be interesting. I'm glad it doesn't have the romance tag, and I tend to like this mix of genres.

Same, buddy.

Anyways, a friend of mine recommended the Servamp manga to me a long time ago, but I never did get around to reading it, so I'll probably watch the anime first instead when it airs. It sounds fun enough for me, at least, so.
