Mahiro made a deal with a witch named Hakaze to hunt down the killers of his parents and sister. Now Mahiro is missing, and Hakaze confronts Yoshino. Yoshino find himself involved in a crisis that may doom the entire world.
Masahiro Andō (Sword of the Stranger, Hana-Saku Iroha) is directing the series at the anime studio Bones. Mari Okada (Black Butler, anohana, Hana-Saku Iroha) is serving as the head writer.
The manga has been running in Monthly Shonen Gangan since 2009, and Square Enix will publish the seventh compiled book volume in September.
