Standing on the frontline of this battle are the Oni: humans who have trained their bodies to harness supernatural power and defeat their demonic enemies.Ī young boy called Asumu Adachi stumbles into this conflict when he meets Hibiki: a cool and confident man who is also one of the leading Oni of the "Takeshi" group. Asumu is unsure what he wishes to do with his life, and finds a mentor and role model in the reluctant Hibiki. He later meets Ibuki, a mellow Oni training a young girl named Akira to be his successor, and Todoroki, an excitable new Oni who wishes to create his own legacy under the watchful eye of his veteran mentor Zanki. The story is told from the perspective of Asumu and is very much a Coming-of-Age Story focusing on the relationship between mentor and student, the old and new generation and the choices that we make in life. The Oni are all Musical Assassins, using their "pure sound" to purify the Makamou they fight. The series also averts Hard Work Hardly Works by showing the Oni training hard to maintain their bodies and ability to use the Oni power in fact, an entire arc ("Summer Of Training") is devoted entirely to their training efforts.
