Synopsis:
In a world veiled in shadows, Shido Tatsuhiko operates as a private investigator haunted by fragmented memories and a hidden nature. He navigates a dangerous urban landscape alongside an unlikely team: Yayoi Matsunaga, a pragmatic government agent; Riho Yamazaki, a resourceful young woman seeking purpose; and Guni, a mysterious imp with unknown loyalties. Together they confront the escalating threat of Nightbreed, demonic entities disrupting the city's fragile equilibrium. Shido’s past is inextricably linked to Cain, a powerful vampire who holds the key to his origins and seems determined to reclaim him. The series explores themes of identity, memory, and the burden of power within a contemporary fantasy setting, offering a blend of mystery and action as Shido struggles to unravel his history while battling forces beyond human comprehension.
