The sixth reincarnation of Chikane and Himeko, of Kannazuki no Miko and Shattered Angels fame, also drawn by Kaishaku.
This time, Himeko is cast as a devout Christian priestess-in-training whose parents and "beloved" older sister Chika died in an accident some years ago. One day, after observing a total solar eclipse (taking place 46 years after the previous one), she finds a beautiful young woman pinned to the wall above the altar of her church with a katana. Astonishingly, the woman is still alive and utters Himeko's name but even more so, she is a spitting image of her late big sister Chika. With a little medical attention, the woman rapidly recovers enough to introduce herself as Chikane and explain that she doesn't remember anything else except Himeko's name and her own love for her. Said love manifests in repeated seduction attempts but also in the utter devotion to protect Himeko from all dangers.
Said devotion comes in handy when the villainous members of "Nine Days" show up, targeting Himeko, whom they believe to be the carrier of the "Absolute Sanctuary" and the "Dragon's Cry". Now Chikane is pretty much the only protector Himeko has got—not to mention that her resemblance to Chika repeatedly leaves her in a dazed state.
Considering the nature of the series, this manga if it becomes an anime will either be an OVA or an ONA.

- Oedipus Complex: Why the trap is so misogynistic.
- Pants-Free: Chikane. Setsuna.

- Shout-Out: A male Nine Day expresses that he is not into Chikane's Gag Boobs, reminds you of Kannazuki no Miko?

- Tempting Fate: "Don't worry, even if I'm just a clone, my feeling for Himeko is real." Cue not the next scene, but the next panel, Himeko figuring out that the real Chika-nee is with the Nine Days, and defects accordingly. It gets worse.
