Sinopsis

Two souls, living vastly different lives, wander alone and isolated in their respective worlds. For nine-year-old Ren, the last person who treated him with kindness has been killed, and he is shunned by his remaining family. With no parents, no real family, and no place to go, Ren escapes into the confusing streets and alleyways of Shibuya. Through the twists and turns of the alleys, Ren encounters the intimidating Kumatetsu, who leads him to the beast realm of Shibuten. For Kumatetsu, the boy represents an opportunity to become a candidate to replace the lord of the realm once he retires. While nearly unmatched in combat, Kumatetsu's chilly persona leaves him with no disciples to teach and no way to prove he is worthy of becoming the lord's successor. Although they have different goals, they agree to help each other achieve them. Kumatetsu seeks recognition; Ren, now known as Kyuuta, searches for the home he never had. As the years pass, it becomes clear that the two are helping each other in more ways than they initially thought. Perhaps there has always been less of a difference between them, a boy and a beast, than either of them ever realized.
