On a beautiful island, a little girl named Takeru meets the mysterious brothers Tesla and Marin who have the ability to fly. These brothers have been called many names by the locals of the island, including "The White Witch," monsters, and demons, but more scientifically, they have been named "Utility." To uncover the mysteries of their powers, the older brother Tesla has employed the help of the local researcher who happens to be Takeru's mother. As Takeru and Marin become closer friends, the uncovering of the mysteries of the "Utility" create an epic story of romance and destruction on this once peaceful island.

Inaba Yuushi's parents died in his first year of middle school, and he moved in with his relatives. Though they did care for him, he could tell he was a burden. After he graduated, he happily prepared to move to a high school with a dormitory. Unfortunately, the dormitory burned to the ground before he could move in! Yuushi doesn't want to live with his grudging relatives, but it's rough finding lodging as an orphaned student with little money. He finally finds a room in a nice old building which seems too good to be true. The catch is that it is a Monster House, a place where humans and supernatural creatures–ghosts, mononoke, etc.– live together. Another high schooler lives there, a cute girl named Akine, and she's completely unfazed by the monsters. In fact, she can even exorcise evil spirits! Yuushi's high school life just got much stranger than he ever bargained for!
