Synopsis:

In the futuristic metropolis of Bayron City, powered by a revolutionary energy source, lives Shuu Ogata, a demon exterminator managing a struggling private security firm. His existence is a constant balancing act between dangerous missions and mounting debt, complicated by the presence of Kisara, his powerful demon partner who takes a hands-on approach to maintaining their shared living space.

The series follows their routine work combating demonic threats that plague the city's underbelly. While dedicated to protecting Bayron City’s citizens, Shuu and Kisara confront a hidden cost associated with their profession – a consequence of dealing with the possessed that extends beyond simple extermination. The narrative explores themes of responsibility, societal disparity, and the unconventional bonds formed in the face of adversity, set against a backdrop of technological advancement and lingering darkness.
