Located at the intersection of the human and of the spiritual world, Momochi house belongs to Himari Momochi, an orphan who received the house as the sole survivor of the family. However, Aoi, a Nue demon who protects the gate from angry spirits, and his Shinkis already live in the house and cannot leave the house.

Himari decide that she will free Aoi and allow him to live in the human world, a place he has not touched since he was ten. But as guardian of the house, not only can Aoi not leave, but his very presence has disappeared from human consciousness. Nevertheless, Himari continues to search for a way for Aoi to regain his humanity.

She also enrolls in school, and on the first day makes new friends. These friends accompany her back to Momochi House, and Himari is fearful they will discover she lives with three guys. Fortunately Aoi disguises himself and his servants as girls, and they pretend to be Himari’s older sisters. But one of Himari’s guests is not a human, but rather a ghost seeking to materialize as a demon by using the powers of Momochi House. Now Himari must discover which of her friends is already dead without alerting the ghost that she knows ...
