Three years ago, mutant demons started emerging across Japan. Some pose no threat—or even assist humans—but others are dangerous. Born from people overwhelmed by intense emotional pain or unresolved trauma, these creatures have grown increasingly destructive as they evolve, becoming smarter and more lethal.

A solitary rooster named Keiji travels from city to city throughout Japan, confronting and defeating the mutant demons he comes across. His true objective, however, is to track down and destroy the one known as the “White Demon,” the being responsible for killing his sister, Sara, and thereby avenge her death.
