    Synopsis:

    Akira Nikaido's ordinary high school life is irrevocably altered by the arrival of Shirogane, a man claiming a shared destiny. Dismissing Shirogane’s pronouncements, Akira's skepticism is challenged when he’s drawn into a hidden conflict between the human realm and a encroaching shadow world. A sudden attack reveals a fractured balance, prompting Shirogane to propose a drastic solution: Akira must transform into a "shin," a being intrinsically linked to the shadows, to mend the rift. The narrative unfolds within a contemporary setting, exploring themes of responsibility, identity, and the consequences of disrupting established order. Relationships are central, though portrayed with nuanced character dynamics beyond typical genre conventions. The series examines how individuals grapple with unexpected burdens and the choices they make when confronted with forces beyond their understanding.
