Synopsis:

Shuuichi Kagaya leads a quiet life as a high school student, concealing a hidden ability – the power to transform into a monstrous form. His carefully constructed normalcy is shattered when he rescues a girl from a fire and encounters Claire Aoki, who already knows his secret. Forced into a precarious alliance, Shuuichi and Claire navigate a world of clandestine powers while searching for Claire’s missing sister, also afflicted with the same transformation.

The series explores themes of identity, responsibility, and the burden of hidden truths within a contemporary setting. Their investigation leads them into a complex network of individuals grappling with similar transformations, forcing them to confront not only external threats but also their own deeply personal struggles. As they delve deeper, Shuuichi and Claire must decide how far they’re willing to go to uncover the truth behind these abilities and protect those they care about.
