About äºŒæµ·å ‚ 昶.
The story revolves around high school student Akira Nikaido, a typical slacker living a normal life. That is, until he meets the mysterious Shirogane, a man who suddenly appears and tells him that they have a destiny together. When Akira hears this, he is shocked and doesn't believe a word of it. Aya, a friend of Akira, forgets something in the school one night, and asks Akira to help her and go find it. He agrees, and while there, he gets attacked by a shadow monster. Shirogane convinces him that the balance between the human world and the shadow world has been distorted and that Akira must become a "shin"- a creature of the shadow world- in order to help restore the balance. The anime has shÅnen-ai themes which are completely absent from the manga.
Akira is the 16-year-old protagonist of the series in his second year of High School. He is strong and impatient, often skipping class since he does not like school. Changing into his shadow form causes his hair and portions of his clothing to turn black, and his eyes to turn red. In order for Akira to stay in his human form, he initially depends on Shirogane to become his shadow, but later on uses a Doppler item. While in his spirit form, he uses a pair of daggers to fight.
