Kyousuke Date’s life fractures abruptly when his mother dies violently and leaves him with a cryptic, fatal wound. His subsequent search for answers plunges him into a clandestine world dominated by conflicting factions: the enigmatic Hospital and the powerful Kirihara Group. He learns of a hidden twin sister, Runa, and becomes a pawn in their relentless pursuit of information about her.
As he navigates this dangerous landscape, Kyousuke unexpectedly unlocks extraordinary abilities, transforming into a formidable being known as SoulTaker. Driven by a desire to understand his family’s past and safeguard Runa's future, he must confront both organizations with his newfound power. The series explores themes of familial secrets, identity, and the cost of uncovering hidden truths within a setting steeped in mystery and escalating conflict.
