Within a fictitious Manchukuo, dangerous mythical creatures and military conflicts reign supreme as humans engage in ferocious battles against them. In 1932, a young boy narrowly escapes a train wreck and, seven years later, while staying in Harbin city, he is introduced to a captivating and elusive gypsy girl who is affiliated with the Shinnou Clan. This encounter, presumed to be divinely ordained, serves as the prologue to a vast and complex story in which everyone is caught up in the tumultuous war, comparable to a spider's intricate web.
"Can you sleep with me?" was the much too thrilling request from a sublime bidanshi (handsome man)...!? A 3 star grade insomnia prince x part-time worker girl's ultra-intimate love is blossoming!
Every 30 years, a new princess is chosen from the Hime family to serve the Hayagami. The time has come again, but over these past years, records state not a single female has been born, save for one, the 15 year old Arata. The only problem is, Arata is actually a male! Forced to disguise himself and take the place of the princess candidate until a formal one can be found, he attends the festival only to witness the current princess, Kokuri-hime, murdered, and his own life is forfeit as well, by the hands of the princess' personal guard, the 12 Shinshou. As he runs for his life, Kannagi of the 12 convinces everyone that Arata is the one who has murdered the princess instead, and now everyone in the Imperial Court is after his head! We then switch over to Arata, a 15 year old schoolboy from modern Japan who has incredible athletic ability but is plagued by bullies. After the Arata from ancient times runs into a mysterious forest and the Arata from modern times runs into an alleyway, the two mysteriously take each others place.
We came from the far future, where most of the adults have disappeared as if they vanished into thin air and all of the children are managed by a few adults. To discover the cause behind human extinction and to evade it from that root cause... That's what we had jumped to the past for, supposedly. A boy sitting in the seats of a movie theater fidgets with his cellphone. "Before aptitude or anything, trying to change the future with just five kids? You would think there's a limit to lack of planning," he typed on his cellphone. The boys wonder if they had really come to the past. Why? Because, ever since they arrived, they haven't stepped one foot outside this theater. Note: This manga is included as a bonus with the limited OVA Blu-ray disc.
Arata Natsume works at a child guidance center, is in his thirties and single with no plans for marriage. But one day, he receives a request from the child he was in charge of, Takuto, to "meet the criminal who killed his father". That serial killer is Shinagawa Shinju, also known as the "Shinagawa Pierrot". (Source: Shogakukan, translated)
In the hopes of pleasing his childhood friend and crush, Chiharu, Arata agreed to help her clean out an old warehouse from her grandfather. But what neither of them knew was that the warehouse contained "tsukumogami" ancient objects imbued with life. When Arata accidentally broke the seal on a box containing an artifact that hungered for vengeance against humanity, Chiharu was kidnapped! Now it is up to Arata and the good, loyal artifacts to rescue Chiharu before it is too late! [tethysdust]

Abe is a hard-working, good-natured onmyoukidou of the under-staffed second division defense against the demons.
