Plot
Hamaji is a girl who lives alone in the mountains, surviving as a hunter just like her grandfather. One day she receives a letter from her brother Dousetsu who lives in Edo. Reaching the big city, she gets lost and ends up meeting Shino, a fuse who helps her in finding her brothers house. Dousetsu wants to team up with her to win a bounty award to hunt down the fuse, which are people who are part wolf and part human that eat other people's essence. With her hunting skills she finds and kills a beautiful female fuse and she and her brother share in a huge reward. However she and Shino form a connection that enables him to escape from Edo and accept his situation.
