Introduction

Since ancient times, monsters and humans have coexisted.

For a long time, people worshiped and sometimes feared the Mononoke, which possessed “different powers” that humans do not have, while maintaining a relationship between “God” and humans.

However, people in the form of humans who mate with these monsters and inherit their blood and abilities will eventually appear.
Those people came to be called “Mononofu” from the meaning of “those who are not human”. The Shonofu gradually increase in number and begin to rule over humans with their special “power”.

Over the years, they expanded their power in various places, and the conflict eventually developed into a big battle. Late Heian period. An era in which “Shanofu” governs humans.

The “power” possessed by Shanofu showed its kind as many as they existed. Those “powers” are those who exert superhuman strength in an instant, those who manipulate people’s hearts – those who play with fire and water,

It is said that there were those who contained that “power”, those who walked on water, and those who danced in the air.
This is the story of “Mononofu”, who were born as “Mononofu” and depicted their short but deep and ephemeral friendship.
