The story is centered around the Yatagarasu, which are crow-like entities that can shape-shift between those creatures and humans. They live in Yamauchi, a parallel world similar to Heian-era Japan. There are a lot of connections to the human realm, as well as conspiracies and thirst for power.

NHK describes Yamauchi as a fantastic world where the Yatagarasu live. Yukiya, a young Yatagarasu, is appointed as the personal attendant of the eccentric Crown Prince Wakamiya. Soon, he is entangled in a web of conspiracies attempting to overthrow the heir to the Imperial throne.
