The Karasumaru family, a former peerage of the Showa family that was made up of land development and real estate businesses. Born as the legitimate son of Harumichi, he was not interested in the family business of building many buildings and changing the landscape of Tokyo Prefecture. He was fascinated by the treasured sword owned by his grandfather Seiichiro and the "Mumei" beauty of Awataguchi Hisakuni who is also a guardian deity of the family since he was a child. Harumichi wanted to protect the treasures passed down in the family and work related to culture, but after his grandfather's death, his father Michitaka pushed ahead with the business, and "Mumei" fell into the hands of Gurentai who made Shibuya-ku a Nejo. Harumichi carried out a reckless plan to take back the sword. Before long, as the Olympics, the high economic growth, and the changing landscape of Tokyo Prefecture, there comes an incident related to "Mumei" behind the scenes. It is a Noir of Beauty and Blood that depicts love and hate of the family hidden in the sword.
