I was thinking about Anime with potential 'Mamono candidates', if you will, one that was not being done before and the Shiki (Corpse Demons) from the homonymus Anime, a type of vampires/undead. (IDK if you watched it or heard about it, I suggest you to give it a try, I enjoyed it a lot despite it gloomy, dark ending). So far nothing out of ordinary. I toyed with the Idea for a bit until a spark lit somewhere in my brain on how to make them further unique.

To cut the chase, I thought about the various possibilities, and came with a potential gold of an Idea. While most of the main traits are somewhat common and can be further reworked/expanded onto, the one thing I'd like to keep as a rarely seen gimmick is the separation of the two types of these bloodsuckers. I'd like the main 'species', the Shiki to be exclusively female, while the rare 'subspecies' of Jinrou, basically Daywalkers to be only male trait, only found in the Shiki's Incubi husbands. While both species share immortality or rather being 'eternal', enhanced strength, some minor psychic abilities and whatnot, the Jinrou is alive, immune to sunlight and can survive on regular human food, although without blood the Jinrou's powers grow weaker.

On top of having an undead waifu while not becoming an undead himself, the husband would gain the unique traits as he becomes a Jinrou Incubus, much like how the Shoggoth or Hinezumi works, extending unique skills or abilities onto the husband, hopefuly making them appealing to the folks that like Mamono and vampire stuff.

Also, for the females that were Jinrou before, to not downgrade them, I thought in making them a very rare Female Jinrou. And by rare I mean super, super rare. Like 1:1000000 ratio or even more rare.

What do you think? Is it doable? Cliche? Dumb?
