Yuushi doesn't want to live with his grudging relatives, but it's rough finding lodging as an orphaned student with little money.

Another high schooler lives there, a cute girl named Akine, and she's completely unfazed by the monsters. In fact, she can even exorcise evil spirits! Yuushi's high school life just got much stranger than he ever bargained for!
