STORY:
Hiiragi, a first-year high school student, goes from wanting to make everyone dislike her to the point where she can't refuse requests. Every day she tries her hardest to do something for someone, but she doesn't have any friends she can call her best friend.

One summer, it snowed unseasonably.
I tried my best to do what I was asked to do as usual, but something still wasn't working.
“I wonder what it is?'' On the way home, Tsumugi helps Tsumugi, who has nowhere to stay, but that night, an incident occurs.

Hiiragi almost gets into an argument with his father over something, but ends up hiding his “true feelings.'' She falls asleep in her room, feeling something that cannot be put into words.
When she suddenly wakes up in the cold, the room is frozen!? Hiiragi is attacked by a mysterious monster wearing a mask, but Tsumugi and Tsumugi, who notices something strange and comes to help, rush out of the room.

After taking a breather, I suddenly looked at Tsumugi and saw that there was a “horn” on her head!?
Tsumugi says that she is a “demon'' and has come to find her mother, who left her before she could even remember. And that the snow-like things that come out of the hollywood are the imps that come from people who hide their true feelings, and that people who have a lot of imps will eventually become demons…

Hiiragi cannot refuse Tsumugi's request to help him find his mother, and decides to go on a journey with him. However, at the same time, an incident occurs in Tsumugi's hometown, Nabari no Sato, where demons live.

[What is Digital Hollywood University[DHU]]

In April 2005, it opened in Akihabara, Tokyo as a joint-stock university approved by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (currently located in Ochanomizu, Tokyo). It has the Faculty of Digital Communication (a four-year university) and the Graduate School of Digital Content Studies (a professional graduate school).

At the School of Digital Communication, students acquire the ability to survive in an uncertain and unpredictable future in their own way. Working at the forefront of industry in digital content (3DCG/VFX, VR/AR, games, video, graphics, web design, media art, programming, etc.) and planning/communication (business plans, marketing, PR, etc.) We have adopted a one-faculty, one-department system where you can learn a wide range of things from our instructors. Furthermore, in order to develop global human resources, we have a focused study program in foreign languages ​​and promote study abroad. With students from 43 countries and regions around the world, we operate a diverse campus located in front of Ochanomizu Station.

The Graduate School of Digital Content balances the four elements of emergent academic fields (SEAD (Science/Engineering/Art/Design)) in order to produce leaders who will make full use of digital communication and bring about social change in an ultra-advanced information society. We will develop human resources who can acquire and integrate knowledge well and bridge theory and practice. Due to the implementation of graduate students' ideas and startup support, including new business planning and prototyping, we were ranked 13th among universities nationwide and 5th among private universities in the 2020 University Venture Survey (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). It has produced many entrepreneurs.
