The red moon hangs over everything, and the survivors left behind aren't just fighting monsters, they're fighting the ones next to them who might be infected from the inside out. The animation carries weight that most ONA productions don't bother attempting, with facial expressions that make every moment of psychological breakdown land harder than the action sequences. You watch people deteriorate in real time, and the show refuses to let you look away.
A blood-red moon suddenly appears in the sky, an event remembered as the Red Moon Incident, and the survivors retreat into a city guarded by high walls. Some of them develop mental mutations. Those who cannot control their mutations give off a mental plague that contaminates the people nearby, putting the remaining humans in grave danger. To deal with the source of this pollution, the walled city forms a special cleanup department that recruits people able to control spiritual energy, and Lu Xin is applying to join its most dangerous branch. Adapted from a novel by Heishan Laogui, this ONA mixes horror, psychological, sci-fi and supernatural elements.
