A boy obsessed with cutting hair meets a girl cursed never to cut hers, and that impossible premise becomes the door to a murder game where weaponized trauma hunts them. The show builds gothic dread by treating scissors and hair as genuinely dangerous, as if Yana Toboso designed a killing game out of intimacy instead of spectacle. It moves too fast and explains almost nothing, which actually works because the vagueness makes every revelation feel like you're discovering a crime scene instead of being told a story. What matters is the atmosphere and the characters surviving it together, not coherence.

Kiri's obsession with cutting hair has always set him apart, but it takes a strange turn when he encounters Iwai, a girl trapped by a family curse that prevents her hair from ever being cut. His scissors, the Crime Edge, prove to be the only tool capable of cutting it. Their meeting sets off an old death game in which users of cursed killing tools called Killing Goods hunt Iwai, since whoever kills her with one has a wish granted. As the Hair Queen, she stands at the center of this murder game, and now Kiri must use his unusual scissors to protect her from the many Authors who want her dead. Action, fantasy and romance come together as the two face one lethal opponent after another.
