In this reimagined tale, Zen’in rules over a fractured Tokyo, his power unmatched. Yet, cracks form when his loyal ally, a jujutsu apprentice named Hikari, begins to show affection for his arch-rival, Tokito, a cursed spirit with a penchant for masquerading as humanity. Zen’in’s arrogance blinds him to the growing bond, and when Hikari finally surrenders to temptation, the consequences are catastrophic.
