The protagonist, Tsukasa Taira, is a human college student who becomes romantically involved with Anzai, a half-devil working for a secret police unit tasked with monitoring and controlling devils. Their relationship faces constant challenges due to Anzai's struggle to suppress his bloodlust and the societal stigma surrounding their bond.
