Synopsis
Exorcist sisters Kagura and Yomi battle supernatural threats while their bond is tested by duty and family pressures.
In Japan, there exists a secret government agency known as the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Division (SDCD), whose duty is to protect the citizens from creatures unseen. These highly trained exorcists are able to dispatch monsters swiftly and without alerting the general public, maintaining the delicate balance between the human world and the supernatural realm. Kagura Tsuchimiya, a young woman who lost her mother years ago, has been raised by the prestigious Isayama family. There, she forms an unbreakable bond with their daughter Yomi, and the two become as close as sisters. United by their shared abilities and family connections, they join the SDCD as exorcists, using their unique skills to combat supernatural threats. However, the weight of their dangerous responsibilities and the complex web of family obligations begin to create tension between them. As they face increasingly challenging missions, the pressures of their dual lives—protecting humanity while navigating their personal relationships—threaten to pull them in different directions. Their once unshakeable bond faces its greatest test as they must reconcile their duty with their personal desires and the expectations placed upon them.

In Japan, there exists a government agency known as the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Division (SDCD), whose duty is to protect the citizens from creatures unseen. They are able to dispatch these monsters swiftly and without alerting the general public. But currently, they face a different challenge: the betrayal of one of their own. After the death of her mother several years ago, Kagura Tsuchimiya has been fostered by the Isayama family and forms a close sister-like bond with their daughter Yomi. The two become inseparable, and together they work for the SDCD as highly skilled exorcists. However, as the stress and consequences of their sacred duty weigh on them both, and family politics come into play, Kagura and Yomi begin to slowly drift apart. One of them grows earnestly into her role as an exorcist, and the other heads down a dark path from which there may be no redemption.
