Synopsis
Ouri trains as monk to support Makina's undead battles amid sect conflicts and mysterious threats six months after Aka.
A direct continuation of Shikabane Hime: Aka, taking place six months after the events of the previous series. Following the aftermath of a tragic incident, Kagami Ouri has formed a temporary contract with Makina, the Shikabane Hime, to help her continue her duties. Ouri has since been training to become a proper monk in order to maintain his connection with Makina and support her ongoing battles against powerful Shikabane threats. As they face increasingly dangerous enemies, they must also contend with internal conflicts within the Kougon Sect, the monk organization that oversees the Shikabane Hime, while mysterious forces work to undermine the delicate balance between the living and the undead.
A direct continuation of Shikabane Hime: Aka, taking place six months after Tagami Keisei's death at the hands of the Shichisei (Seven Stars), a group of elite Shikabane who act on more than just regrets. As per Keisei's dying wish, Kagami Ouri formed a temporary contract with Makina to save her from degenerating into a Shikabane. Since then, Ouri's been training to become a proper monk so that he can remain contracted to Makina and help her fight against the Shichisei -- the ones who originally killed Makina, the entire Hoshimura family, and now Keisei. However, the traitorous monk Shishidou Akasha has sided with the Shichisei in an attempt to destroy all Shikabane Hime and the entire monk organization that uses them -- Kougon Sect.
