Born in the age of the Japanese civil wars, "Hyakkimaru" had his body stolen from him by demons. He hunts for the demons who have fragments of his body and recovers his body bit by bit. Having lived till the present day chasing after demons in the city's shadows, Hyakkimaru is one day sought out by a child—Roro, a girl who holds a fragment of Hyakkimaru's body despite not being a demon. Under a contract with her, Hyakkimaru goes on his final hunt for the remaining demons...this time, for the sake of becoming a complete human being.
