content
The 16-year-old Akira Nikaidō 二 16 堂 昶 goes to high school, but does not think much of learning and often skips. Nevertheless, he is one of the best students. One day a young man named Shirogane 白銀 introduces himself to him , with whom he is connected by fate. Akira does not believe this at first, but soon afterwards he and Aya Suzuno 鈴 野 綾 , a friend of his, are attacked by a mysterious being at night. Shirogane defends them and explains to Akira that they have to fight these shadow monsters together, since the balance between the world of humans and that of the shadows is disturbed. Akira must now again and again become a shin , a shadow, and fight to restore balance.
