Synopsis

This action-fantasy series unfolds in Tokyo in 2026, where Edo period atmosphere lingers and a disease called “Youka” runs rampant – an affliction that manifests inner ugliness as physical transformation. The story follows Shiraishi Sumi, a young girl from a shrine maiden clan tasked with maintaining national order. As an apprentice priestess inheriting the supernatural ability to “transform prayers into blades,” Sumi trains daily under her mother, the head of the Shiraishi family. However, her overly gentle nature prevents her from finding purpose in combat, causing her to fall behind her younger sister and struggle to control her powers.
 
Everything changes when Sumi meets transfer student Kuon Masataka and experiences love for the first time. But Kuon harbors a dangerous secret: he is a descendant of a ninja clan determined to annihilate the Shiraishi family, and he has approached Sumi under orders from his guardian.
