Main Description
After an accident that leaves him nearly dead, Tohno Shiki awakens to find that he now sees the world as if it were covered in lines. This new vision assaults him with constant headaches, and furthermore he finds that by cutting along the lines he is able to dismember any object effortlessly. He even sees the lines on people. Highly disturbed by this, he is saved when a wandering woman with red hair befriends him and gives him special glasses to suppress the ability.
Years later, Shiki is living a normal life that is changed suddenly when he is called back to the Tohno family mansion. He had been living with some distant relatives, but with the death of his father Shiki's sister Akiha has asked him to return to the main house. At the same time, bizarre blood-sucking murders have been occurring around the town. Upon meeting a strange woman with golden hair, Shiki finds that his "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" may soon find a ghastly use.
