Sixteen year old Ohri Kagami is moving away from a small orphanage to start his life on his own. The orphanage happens to be associated with a temple that has a secret society of monks who fight the undead. And that secret society of monks has a secret weapon, fifteen year old Makina Hoshimura, who happens to be undead herself, but is fighting to gain her pass into heaven.
On the day of Ohri’s departure the monks and Makina go after a newly discovered undead being who is killing women and the police who chase him. Makina catches up to the evil undead being, who transforms into a vampire who attempts to bite and enslave Makina too.
Makina carries a pair of compact submachine guns that she uses to try to blast the vampire into bits. But Makina is distracted by the revival of some of the vampire’s victims and so is carried off into the night in the talons of the monster.
Ohri has secretly seen the leader of the monks, Keisei Tagami, revive Makina by hugging her, so on the night of Ohri’s departure, when Makina breaks free of the grip of the vampire and smashes into the ground in front of him, Ohri revives Makina by hugging her too. Makina is surprised when she finds that Ohri revived her, and promptly slaps him in the face before running off to rejoin Keisei and the chase.
Eventually Makina catches up with the vampire and finally succeeds in blowing him up so that he can’t be revived. Afterwards, while Makina cleans herself off in her shower, Ohri finally reaches his new apartment, only to find that his classmates who were planning a welcoming party all fell asleep before he arrived.
