Hashimoto Jun

The beheaded corpse of a man is found in Tokyo. His body appears to have been cut with an almost impossibly sharp blade. But there is one baffling detail about this case: There is no sign of blood around the cut. A young and ambitious female news reporter named Mio Sanjo (Mai Fukagawa) tries to get to the bottom of the case – only to witness a horrific plume of what looks like filthy black dust gushing from the wound. The police officers cannot see this dust, but Mio Sanjo knows that her eyes are not deceiving her...

She soon learns that two mysterious men named Kakeru Osagami (Saotome Taichi) and Sho Iotsu (Endo Yuya) can also “see” this black filth – and have a very keen interest in it! It turns out that Kakeru Osagami is a “blade master” who is on the hunt for the sword that cut the man. He has a deadly quest: Hunting down these so-called “filth blades,” which have been forged from human evil and can corrupt the souls of those who wield them. But with every blade he neutralizes, Kakeru Osagami absorbs some of the “filth.” Can he wipe out all of the blades before the “filth” consumes him?

The Sealer

Kisara Hanae (Kiyohara Kaya) is a young woman who grew up in an orphanage and dreams of becoming a karate practitioner. She dreams of representing Japan at a major event, but is forced to put her karate dreams on ice due to health issues. She now works as a cleaner. But one day, as she is going about her work, she meets Ashida Haruki (Shotaro Mamiya). He happens to be a songwriter who penned the song she used to listen to before her karate matches.

Ashida Haruki has also fallen on hard times. Although the song that Kisara Hanae used to adore was popular, he has failed to score a hit since, and the music company that employs him is considering firing him unless he writes another hit. The firm is concerned that he does not really understand love – and that this is why he can’t write better songs. Losing his job will mean he must also move out of his accommodation. Out of desperation, the duo agrees to start a “fake” romance. But this sparks the ire of her childhood friend, Natsukawa Shingo (Kikuchi Fuma). The latter has secretly loved her ever since they were both children. Will this unconventional arrangement end in happiness – or misery for everyone concerned?
