Taimanin Murasaki ~Kunoichi Kugutsu Dorei ni Otsu~
Taimanin Murasaki ~Kunoichi Kugutsu Dorei ni Otsu~ (which can be translated as "Anti-Demon Ninja Murasaki: Fall of a Kunoichi into Puppet Slave") is a 2008 H-game, developed by Black Lilith.
Tokyo, the Demon Capital, is being eroded by demons and dark presences. Since time immemorial, there has been an agreement of mutual non-interference between humans and demons. However, this oral-only rule was falling apart as people fell into heresy. Soon, by encroaching hands or competing with each other, criminal organizations composed of both humans and demons became rampant. However, the law didn't stand powerless before this. The government formed the Taimanins, the anti-demon ninja group, to fight against the heresy of criminal human-demon alliances.
The influence of humans, however, only made things worse, with even foreign countries interfering in Japan. Tokyo has become lawless; some would call even a colony of the forces of darkness. Some devoting their extraordinary skills to it. Between them, our protagonist, Kiryuu Sabato.
Sabato works for the criminal organization Nomad, led by Edwin Black, working on the modification of female bodies for the creation of top-notch prostitutes. However, during the raid at the ending of the first Taimanin Asagi game, he was mortally injured by a Taimanin called Murasaki, and was forced to fuse himself to a low-level demon to survive. Sadly, for him, that means his days are counted. Soon, the low-level demon will overcome his body and he will become akin to an animal.
Caught into a corner, Sabato committed a daring stunt to survive; he leaked information to the Taimanins so Murasaki would be sent after him. The reason behind this was to capture Murasaki in order to acquire her power of regeneration. His method to acquire this power involves slowly eroding her resistance in order to hijack her body.
