The story goes like this:
The story revolves around high school student Akira Nikaido, a typical slacker living a normal life. That is, until he meets the mysterious Shirogane, a man who suddenly appears and tells him that they have a destiny together. When Akira hears this, he is shocked and doesn’t believe a word of it. Aya, a friend of Akira, forgets something in the school one night, and asks Akira to help her and go find it. He agrees, and while there, he gets attacked by a shadow monster. Shirogane convinces him that the balance between the human world and the shadow world has been distorted and that Akira must become a “shin”- a creature of the shadow world- in order to help restore the balance. The anime has shōnen-ai themes which are completely absent from the manga.

I’m currently at Episode 5 now and i don’t really think this is a Yaoi anime (or what some tag in youtube) or BL. It’s being put into the category of shonen-ai but i think it’s actually a decent anime except one of the character inside with long white/silver hair called Shirogane who has romantic feeling towards Akira Nikaido. ^^;; Oh, and i love the opening and ending themes!! X3
I thinking Kengo inside the anime is very funny and he’s kidda like a Akira’s sandbag since he always get hit & kicked by Akira… XD And the girl name Aya, like so many had commented about her, is quite annoying sometimes, constantly chase after Akira & Kengo for skipping their class and even afer school! >_>
Inside the story, Akira have to ‘transform’ to beat up the monsters called ‘Kokuchi’ but somwhow Kengo and Aya don’t have to… Weird… ^^;; And their ‘transformation’…..Double weird.
Finally, i wouldn’t say this is a very very great anime (compared with Kuroshitsuji) but i’ll give it a 5 out of 10.
Warning: This comment is totally based on my own thinking, and it’s not meant to advertise anything nor suggest anything inapropriate to anyone who thinks is inappropriate. (^^;;) If you cannot take even the slightest sugestive scene of shonen-ai, keep away.
