    Synopsis:

    Set in a secluded village governed by ancient traditions and spiritual guardians, the story follows Jinta, now the sentinel of Kadono. His life as protector is irrevocably altered following a fateful encounter with a demon and its cryptic prophecy regarding the future of demonkind. The consequences of this encounter lead to tragedy: the death of Shirayuki, Jinta's adopted sister, at the hands of his childhood friend, Suzune, who has undergone a mysterious transformation. Burdened by grief and a complex mix of obligation and resentment, Jinta embarks on a journey across Japan’s historical landscape. He strives to safeguard humanity from encroaching demonic forces while grappling with the emotional weight of confronting Suzune and the uncertain path towards resolution. The narrative explores themes of duty, loss, and the blurred lines between protection and vengeance within a world steeped in folklore.
