Kodansha Comics is publishing the manga in English and it describes the supernatural mystery romance:
When she was still just a girl, Kotoko was kidnapped by yokai. These spirits make her a powerful intermediary between the spirit world and humans, but this power comes at a cost: one eye and one leg. Now, years later, she watches out for dangerous yokai while developing feelings for a young man named Kuro who is also very special: an incident with a yokai gave him healing powers. He is surprised when Kotoko asks him to cooperate in dealing with the treacherous yokai, protecting the thin line between reality and the supernatural.
Katase launched the manga based on Shirodaira’s 2011 novel (Spiral, The Record of a Fallen Vampire, Blast of Tempest) in Kodansha’s Shounen Magazine R in April 2015. The manga’s 16th volume was published in December 2021.
