During Yuu Kusaka's formative years, a powerful moment occurred when he made a solemn vow upon a shooting star. Promising to champion justice and defend the vulnerable, he seemed destined for a noble path. Regrettably, his zeal waned when tragedy struck and claimed the life of a dear friend. Faced with overwhelming despair, he turned a blind eye to the anguish around him and utilized his enigmatic abilities for personal gain rather than aiding the distressed. Nonetheless, destiny had other plans in store for Yuu when he found himself embroiled in a life-or-death confrontation against a classmate possessing similar powers. His salvation came in the form of an enigmatic young woman named Eimu Yoake, who possessed her own peculiar abilities. Eimu unraveled the mystery behind his unique powers—they were bestowed upon him by an entity known as an Ayakashi, a parasitic being that granted extraordinary capabilities at the cost of slowly siphoning the life force of its host. Under Eimu's guidance, Yuu awakened his latent potential. With his newfound awareness of the Ayakashi within him, Yuu must now honor his childhood oath and employ his extraordinary powers to thwart those who exploit their own abilities for nefarious purposes. Simultaneously, he endeavors to unravel the enigma surrounding his friend's untimely demise.
