Rokuro and Benio's chemistry does the impossible: makes you believe two teenagers forced into destiny could actually grow to want it. The show knows that a romance built on reluctance, then respect, then real affection hits different than instalove. Pacing drags and filler episodes test your patience, but the quiet moments where they stop fighting their marriage prophecy and start fighting for each other make it worth the slog.

Rokuro Enmado once showed real promise as an exorcist, but he walked away from the work after a tragedy cost a friend his life. Then he meets Benio Adashino, a gifted exorcist his own age with a strong reputation, who has come from the east. A prophecy names them the Twin Star Exorcists, destined to marry and have a child who will purge every evil spirit, known as Kegare, from the world. When Rokuro's best friend Ryogo goes missing, Rokuro has no choice but to ask Benio for help entering Magano, the realm where the Kegare dwell, to bring him back. Their rivalry sits at the center of a supernatural action fantasy that mixes adventure, comedy, drama and romance.
