Synopsis
Orphaned siblings face separation when sister develops Jinka powers, forcing brother to protect her from humanity's fear.
In a world where mysterious beings known as Jinka threaten humanity, two orphans raised as siblings find their lives forever changed. Kingo and Kayano have always been inseparable, sharing dreams of a peaceful future together. But when Kayano begins to exhibit strange abilities that mark her as different from other humans, Kingo faces an impossible choice: protect the sister he loves at all costs, or risk everything to keep her safe from those who would see her as a threat. As tensions rise between humans and Jinka, Kingo takes on dangerous work with the Flower Funeral Forces, hoping to stay close to Kayano and shield her from discovery. But in a world where trust is scarce and danger lurks around every corner, the bond between these two siblings will be tested in ways they never imagined. (Source: VIZ Media)
