Synopsis

Ouri has grown up under the care of the monk Keisei, unaware of the battle concealed behind his guardian's everyday life. Encountering a seemingly dead girl who rises again draws him toward a world of corpses animated by attachments they cannot abandon.

The girl, Makina Hoshimura, is bound to Keisei and hunts those monsters as a corpse princess. While Ouri tries to understand her existence, Makina's violent duty and the mystery surrounding her murdered family pull him into a conflict that ordinary people are never meant to see.
