LatestNow that Akihito and Mirai have been reunited, they must work together to defeat Beyond the Boundary’s core. But what will happen to Mirai and Akihito once it has been defeated...? Will either of them survive?
The dark fantasy follows a high school sophomore named Akihito Kanbara. Although the boy appears human, he is half Youmu and invulnerable to wounds because he can heal quickly. One day, Akihito meets freshman Mirai Kuriyama when it seems she is about to jump from the school rooftop. Mirai is isolated because of her ability to manipulate blood, which is considered heresy among members of the spirit world. Disturbing events begin to unfold after Akihito saves Mirai.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The infamous 'Idol Saiban!' OVA episodes were pure commercial chaos — KyoAni flexing that they could sell anything.
Mirai's cursed blood lineage directly parallels historical Japanese outcast communities (burakumin), reframed through fantasy tropes.
