About

Modern day—a village tucked away deep in the mountains, where ancient, dark traditions remain.

Ushinomiya Village

In this village, there are two lineages of exorcists who have banished apparitions for generations.

One is the Izayoi family, who inherit a monstrous constitution that devours all things— the Gluttonous Flower.

And the other is the Engetsu family, the only ones capable of killing that very 'Gluttonous Flower'— the Absolute Shears.

The two houses have maintained deep ties since ancient times, supporting each other's powers. One devours the apparitions, and the other severs them.

Like a flower and shears, they share a relationship that can never be separated.

Then, one day.

"The Gluttonous Flower has been born!!!"

A single birth cry echoes throughout the village.

Immediately after—

"The Absolute Shears has been born!!!"

A new life was born in the other house as well.

Coincidentally born in the same era, the 'Devourer' and the 'Severer.'

The bond between two lineages that has lasted since antiquity, and the destiny imposed upon the two.

This is a story of fate, bonds, and a terrifying yet strange tale woven by two people born into exorcist families, set in Ushinomiya Village where apparitions roam.

"I'll protect you."

I originally made this for myself, so it might be a bit unpolished 🥲 I'll probably be making tweaks here and there 💦
