At first the series is an [[Monster of the Week]] series dealing with the boy [[I Just Want to Be Normal|trying to live a normal life]], and [[The Masquerade|keeping the truth about himself and his family from getting out to his normal school friends]]. His friends include Kana, his [[Love Interest]] who is afraid of youkai, and Kiyotsugu, the class president who is a wannabe demonologist and major fanboy of Rikuo's youkai side. He often has to handle threats to his friends and school, and deal with occasional assassination attempts by yokai who want to take over his clan. The cast is rounded out by the yokai retainers who live in his family's mansion and his own personal bodyguards. |

Shortly, however, the series undergoes a significant change, as {{spoiler|Rikuo admits to knowing about his demon side, quits trying to be normal, and [[Took a Level In Badass|decides to work at becoming the successor]]. From this point on the plot gets much more interesting and the action far better as he and his followers deal with various threats to the Nura clan}}. |
