The older and stronger twin cares for his younger and weaker twin while they are bullied by these relatives for three years. One night, the younger twin, Shunkaku, wakes up to find his older brother is missing.

When Kotoku, who had left the relatives house to search for Seiryuu no Miko, sees a shooting star one night, he gets a bad feeling and hurries back to his relatives house… This time, Kotoku’s quest changes from searching for his Miko to searching for his twin. But a cruel fate awaits the twins…?! |
