MAO

Nanoka Kiba is a curious and attuned modern-day junior high student. So, when a nearly deserted covered shopping arcade beckons, she wanders in and stumbles out into an anachronistic world of the supernatural. Mixed in is a mysterious man named Mao who, after witnessing an ayakashi attack on Nanoka, deftly unleashes a flurry of life-saving slashes. Strangely, what disquiets Nanoka more than her bloody close call with a monster, is a single steely question from Mao.
