Blue Storm is a demon who exists to protect Ritsu, except neither of them really knows what they're doing half the time. The show treats that friction as the actual horror, not jump scares or elaborate mythology, but two people with power they don't fully understand trying to fix problems that don't have clean solutions. Every standalone mystery folds back into something quieter: people dealing with the supernatural because they have to, not because they chose to. This is what happens when you inherit a gift you never asked for and a guardian who's just as confused about the job as you are.
Ritsu has a sixth sense, passed down to him by his grandfather along with a demon guardian called Blue Storm. Strange occurrences seem to follow the pair wherever they go, and it falls to them to uncover the truth behind each mysterious event. Every story stands on its own, but a recurring cast returns across episodes, each person coping in their own way with things from beyond this world. Brief episodes blend horror, mystery and the supernatural.
