Written by Masashi Nishida, the story follows modern high school students who time-slip to Muromachi-period Kyoto and encounter demons (oni), incorporating music, dance, and action. The cast includes Koki Kawasaki, Sota Uchimura, Waku Motoki, Takumi Kitagawa, Shusei Ajima, and Ryu Matsuo as students and young demons, with supporting roles by Ryo Kato, Hirari Nishida, Yusuke Matsuzaki, Shota Totsuka, and Kota Yabu. The visual artwork depicts the eerie beauty of demons through dark-toned nail art and various hand poses by the cast, symbolizing the fantastical world where the human realm and demon world intersect. The story follows three students who must confront the demons within themselves as they navigate a fateful journey between humans and demons, justice and darkness.
