Your family is cursed to hunt you. A boy you're falling for might be your brother. The show spends its first half earning the right to devastate you in the second. Romance isn't escape here, it's the only thing worth fighting for in a story designed to take everything else away. The emotional core never wavers even when the plot starts stretching credibility. By the end, you're not watching a perfect story; you're watching characters choose love anyway.
Aya Mikage and her twin brother Aki are thrown a party on their sixteenth birthday, but her grandfather intends to use the occasion to kill her. The reason lies in legend. Ceres, a celestial maiden, once came down to bathe in a stream, and a man stole the robe she needed to return to the heavens and forced her to become his wife. Their bloodline became the Mikage family. Unlike the rest of her relatives, Aya carries strong tennyo blood and can turn into Ceres herself, who could destroy the Mikage family. Aya is able to switch back, so the transformation happens again and again. With her protector Yuuhi at her side, she must keep Ceres under control and stop her from returning, while her relationship with a former employee of her grandfather threatens to distract her. The series mixes adventure, horror, romance, drama and comedy.
