Plot Summary: Shinichirō Asano begins work as the housekeeper for the old family of Shimazu, where he meets the ill-mannered, selfish, beautiful Sakuya.

Discovering that he has the powers of "true names" and "true eyes," Shinichirō becomes wrapped up in Sakuya's battle with the monsters as her assistants.
