The title character, Shiki Ryougi, shares the power to kill with Shiki Tohno of Tsukihime, and it's same mechanics. Her power is superiour to his, but so are her issues, dealing with split personality and the like, she has to figure out if she even fits into society at all or should just consider herself a villain for her crimes. Her lover, Mikiya Kokuto maintains her innocence against her actual admission, and tries to keep her from going slowly insane.
