Rokumichi wakes up in a tube inside a medical facility, being experimented on. He soon learns that the hologram was a trap laid by [[TheSyndicate the criminal organization SAI]], who have been turning humans into "monsters" to sell them on the black market- and he is their latest subject.

Once the two escape, Rokumichi is recruited into the anti-monster investigative force by Chief Jirou Gotou, who has taken his own interest in Rokumichi's condition. Now, he finds himself struggling not only against the SAI and Sara's machinations, but against his own new self and his monster instincts. His greatest desire is to find a way to turn back into a human, reunite with Yayoi, and take her out on that date he promised her, but he has to hide his powers from everyone else. Can Rokumichi find a way to balance his new lives? Or will he fall and become yet another mindless monster?
