Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America in the 1920s, this anime follows the Order of Magdalene, an organization dedicated to combating a surge of demonic activity. The story centers on Sister Rosette Christopher and her partner Chrno, a highly effective but often destructive extermination team stationed in New York. Both individuals are deeply affected by personal tragedies tied to the demonic incursions – Rosette seeking answers about her missing brother, and Chrno grappling with a shared history of violence with a powerful entity known as Aion. As they confront escalating threats and unravel the mystery behind the demons' origins, Rosette and Chrno must navigate their own inner demons while striving to protect a city teetering on the edge of chaos. The narrative explores themes of loss, redemption, and the blurred lines between good and evil in a world confronting an unknown darkness.
