Since childhood, Ashiya Takahiro has had a piercing sixth sense, at times wielding supernatural powers without even realizing it. Coursing through his veins is a magic inherited from his ancestor, the legendary onmyoji Ashiya Doman. But Takahiro, who moved to Tokyo dreaming of an ordinary life, did his utmost to seal away these dangerous, uncontrollable abilities, and became a regular salaryman. Then one day, his mother's death reawakens the absolute power lying dormant in his blood… Her final wish: that he recite an incantation from 《Hoki Naiden》, a secret Heian-era scripture. What fate now awaits Takahiro…?
