The story follows Shiki Ichinose, an Oni, who is raised by a Momotaro father. Those with Momotaro blood are generally hunting those with Oni blood, but Shiki was raised by a supposed enemy despite his rather angry characteristics. Upon losing his father, Shiki gets into a situation where he has to learn to control his power as he tries to learn more about the whole situation and get his revenge.
