But when Matsuri takes the king as his pet, the future of the two friends seems uncertain.ĭenji is robbed of a normal teenage life, left with nothing but his deadbeat father's overwhelming debt. Meanwhile, Suzu must work out her romantic feelings for Matsuri now that he is no longer a boy. When the two stumble upon a talking white cat named Shirogane, they are unaware that it is a four-hundred-year-old ayakashi known as the "King of Ayakashi." He is hell-bent on gaining even more power by devouring Suzu, but as Matsuri swoops in to try and save her by sealing Shirogane's powers, the ayakashi uses a jutsu to turn him into a girl instead! Matsuri vows to protect Suzu from further harm as her best friend, but he must learn how to act like a girl until his grandfather-a famous wind jutsu exorcist ninja-can undo the jutsu. As Suzu's one-sided feelings are growing, so is the difference in their ayakashi views: Matsuri considers all ayakashi a threat to his friend, while Suzu is an ayakashi medium-someone who exudes a significant amount of life force compared to the average human-and loves them all despite the risk. However, in high school, their relationship deteriorates. Matsuri Kazamaki and Suzu Kanade are childhood friends, bonded by their shared ability to see ayakashi-youkai in search of a life force to devour. However, as Shadow Garden grows in both membership and influence, it becomes increasingly apparent that the Cult of Diablos is not as fictional as Cid had intended. With the power he so desired finally within his grasp, he dons the moniker "Shadow" and establishes Shadow Garden: a group whose sole purpose is to combat the enigmatic Cult of Diablos, an organization born from Cid's imagination. In his final moments, he laments his powerlessness-no matter how much he trained, there was nothing he could do to overcome his human limitations.īut instead of dying, Minoru reawakens as Cid, the second child of the noble Kagenou family, in another world-one where magic is commonplace. Yet when Minoru finds himself in a truck accident, his ambitions seemingly come to a sudden end.

So, while pretending to be a completely average student during the day, he arms himself with a crowbar and ruthlessly thrashes local biker gangs at night.


This wish, however, does not stem from a desire to be recognized by others rather, Minoru does everything he can to blend in with the crowd. For as long as he can remember, Minoru Kagenou has been fixated on becoming as strong as possible, which has led him to undertake all kinds of rigorous training.
