Plot
Hiro Hiyorimi is a boy who has just moved to the fictional Sasanaki Village to meet his sister who has been recently employed by a mysterious young woman who prefers being called "Hime". Hiro encounters Hime by chance when she and her short yet strong android bodyguard Flandre have arrived, getting himself killed in getting Hime out of harm's way of a speeding car (falling construction beams in the anime). But Hiro suddenly finds himself alive, initially confused as he encounters Hime and unconsciously defends her during her fight with a werewolf. Hime explains that she is a member of the royal family of the Monster Realm which co-exists with the Earth-Realm, revealing her family possess the power to temporary revive the dead as half-immortals bound to serve and protect them. Despite her disinterest, Hime is caught in a war of succession among her siblings for the Monster Kingdom's throne. The story then follows Hiro helping Hime fend off her siblings' supernatural assassins as they are joined by a half-werewolf named Riza and the vampire Reiri, Hime's younger sister Sherwood with her android bodyguard Francisca as their neighbors.
