Synopsis:

Rikuo Nura navigates a world where the supernatural is commonplace, yet often feared. As the young master of the Nura Clan, he strives for a life of normalcy despite his half-youkai heritage and the clan's traditions. His attempts to integrate into human society are challenged by his relationships with classmates who hold deeply ingrained prejudices against youkai.

The narrative explores themes of identity and belonging as Rikuo grapples with his ancestry—the legacy of Nurarihyon—and the responsibilities it entails. He must confront the reality of his powers and the threats facing those he cares about, forcing him to reconcile his human aspirations with his youkai nature. The series depicts a blend of everyday school life intertwined with supernatural intrigue, examining the complexities of acceptance and the burden of leadership within a hidden world.
