What it's about
In a 2026 Tokyo haunted by the Youka disease that turns inner ugliness into monsters, gentle shrine maiden Sumi Shiraishi wields prayer-forged blades to protect order. Falling in love with transfer student Kuon gives her new purpose—until she discovers he is a ninja descendant sent to destroy her family.
