Synopsis

Shiki Ryougi awakens from coma with death-seeing eyes, fragmented identity, navigating supernatural world.

A teenage girl named Shiki Ryougi awakens from a two-year coma following a traffic accident, forever changed by the experience. She possesses the rare "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception," a supernatural ability that allows her to perceive the fundamental mortality of all things. Born into the mysterious Ryougi family, Shiki was raised with a unique dual personality system, but upon awakening, she finds herself fundamentally altered - her sense of self fragmented and her memories feeling distant and disconnected. Now navigating a world where she can see the death lines that connect all existence, Shiki struggles to understand her place in it. She adopts a cold, detached demeanor as she attempts to reconcile who she was before the accident with who she has become. Her path crosses with various individuals who seem to understand the supernatural forces at play, including those connected to the enigmatic Aozaki family. Set in a world where the supernatural exists alongside the mundane, this story explores themes of identity, mortality, and the price of possessing extraordinary abilities in a reality where such powers come with profound consequences.
