The narrative focuses on Nanoka, a young woman who travels through time and encounters the exorcist Mao in a mystical Japan. In this way , the series promises to recapture the classic atmosphere of hits like Inuyasha , maintaining the quality seal of Shonen Sunday. Furthermore , the character design is the responsibility of Yoshihito Hishinuma.

Therefore , fans can expect a faithful and visually stunning adaptation. As such , anticipation for the global release is only growing among manga .
