Kodansha USA Publishing is releasing the manga in English, and it describes the supernatural mystery romance:
When she was still just a girl, KOTOKO was kidnapped by yokai. These spirits made her into a powerful intermediary between the spirit and human worlds, but this power came at a price: an eye and a leg. Now, years later, she watches out for dangerous yokai while developing feelings for a young man named Kuro, who is also special: an incident with a yokai has given him healing powers. He's surprised when KOTOKO asks him to team up to handle renegade yokai, preserving the thin line between reality and the supernatural.
Chasiba Katase launched the manga based on a 2011 novel by Kyou Shirodaira (Spiral, The Record of a Fallen Vampire, Blast of Tempest) in Kodansha's Shōnen Magazine R in April 2015. The manga moved to Monthly Shonen Magazine in 2020.
