Plot
Takeru Narihira has earned a notorious reputation at his modern-day high school: quick fists, a shorter fuse, and zero interest in exams. But one rainy night his life swerves into the unimaginable. After a reckless motorcycle crash, Takeru opens his eyes—not in a hospital bed, but in an otherworldly version of Japan’s ancient capital. Towering neon pagodas mingle with lacquered temples in Denji Heian-kyō, a parallel city where Heian-era court culture has fused with holograms, spirit-powered rail lines, and AI onmyōji drones.
Disoriented, Takeru wanders the electric streets until he meets Tsukimiya—the elegant, soft-spoken woman who has haunted his dreams for years, though they have never met in waking life. Their uncanny reunion is brief. Moments later, a towering oni—an amalgam of demonic fury and cybernetic armor—erupts from a side street and slaughters them both before Takeru can react.
Everything goes white.
Takeru jolts back to the moment just before the attack, memories intact. Realizing he has inexplicably leapt backward in time, he vows to use the second chance to protect Tsukimiya. But brute strength alone won’t stop a techno-demon. He needs real power—onmyō sorcery.
In Denji Heian-kyō, the greatest living onmyōji is none other than Abe no Seimei, a legendary master preserved through reincarnation and quantum cloning. Swallowing his pride, Takeru seeks Seimei out. The ancient sage—now part mystic, part eccentric inventor—agrees to train him, but warns that bending time comes with a price: each jump erodes the barrier between worlds, inviting even greater calamities.
Under Seimei’s tutelage, the street brawler who once relied only on his fists learns to inscribe talismans, summon shikigami, and manipulate the city’s ley-line circuitry. With every time-looped failure he grows stronger, piecing together the oni’s origin and the deeper conspiracy threatening Denji Heian-kyō.
