Synopsis
Humans hunt glowing 'hotaru' for light; Nemu, a lightless hotaru, contracts with Haibane to restore her glow.
The foolish living things, the humans, who carry darkness in their hearts lost the light from their eyes. Deep inside the darkness, they lose sight of the way. Crushed in their despair the humans, one day, meet the 'hotaru' which carries a faint, warm light. The hotaru provided the humans with the light, and started to live alongside them. But in this ugly and blood-stained world, the hotaru's number started to decrease day by day. Yet, the humans wanted the light and started to hunt the hotaru. For money they would throw away the life of the hotaru. Nemu, a hotaru who has lost her light, makes a contract with a abandoned baby, Haibane. Haibane seeks to find a way to gain back Nemu's light.
