Synopsis
Childhood crush Taiga uncovers dark secrets in rival Sagimiya family's haunted Catholic church.
A legend says that the ghost of a girl stands on the top of an old Catholic church, inhabited by the Sagimiya family. Said family has a hateful rivalry with the Bijogi family, who manage a Taoist temple next door. In the middle of all this, Bijogi Taiga has had a crush on Sagimiya Anna, the demure daughter of the priest, since childhood. However, beneath the surface of this seemingly ordinary neighborhood, dark secrets lurk within the Sagimiya household. When Taiga stumbles upon the truth about what really happens behind the church's closed doors, he finds himself drawn into a world of ancient rituals and supernatural forces that will change his life forever.
