Description
Makina Hoshimura, a 16-year-old undead warrior bound to a Buddhist sect, must eradicate 108 undead beings to achieve salvation. Her striking violet hair cascades to her waist, fastened by crimson ribbons, contrasting pale skin and piercing dark blue eyes. She alternates between a standard school uniform, mission-gear like a gray sweater, or a traditional white kimono during rituals. Wielding twin Ingram MAC-11 machine pistols, her combat prowess merges superhuman agility with relentless regenerative powers—abilities amplified after her contracted monk’s death, granting her limitless healing.
Born into the revered Hoshimura lineage, she grew up alongside Keisei Tagami, an orphan adopted by her father. Their village was slaughtered by the Shichisei, a cadre of elite undead, leading to her murder and resurrection as a Shikabane Hime. Keisei forged a blood pact to sustain her existence, becoming her first contracted monk as she hunted the Shichisei for vengeance.
When Keisei perished battling the Shichisei, his adoptive brother Ouri Kagami inherited the contract to halt her descent into mindless ferocity. Resentful of Ouri’s involvement, she pushed him away, shielding him from her grim world while wrestling with grief. Slowly, she begrudgingly accepted his partnership, though her loyalty to Keisei’s memory and hunger for retribution strained their bond.
Her blood ties to Hokuto, a Shichisei member and kin from the Hoshimura clan, unravel a bitter Cain-and-Abel rivalry. Hokuto, sacrificed centuries prior by their ancestors, wages war on humanity, clashing with Makina in a climactic duel that concludes on a tense cliffhanger. Their confrontation challenges Hokuto’s nihilistic worldview, leaving their fates intertwined yet unresolved.
Stoic and guarded, Makina masks profound loyalty and trauma beneath icy resolve. She reviles centipedes, recoils from pungent smells, and avoids intoxication, yet finds solace in starlit skies, miso soup with cabbage, and corn potage. Beyond battle, she demonstrates sharp mental arithmetic and odd talents, like prying open locks with her legs.
Her journey traces a shift from single-minded vengeance to grappling with her purpose beyond violence, particularly through her strained alliance with Ouri. Later exchanges hint at burgeoning empathy and mutual understanding, though her destiny—salvation or eternal strife—remains uncertain.
