Dans un Tokyo moderne et branché, des jeunes filles abordent chacune la vie de manière bien différente. Alors que certaines d’entre elles vendent leur corps naïvement, d’autres tentent de profiter de ce système ancré curieusement dans les entrailles de la capitale japonaise. Ainsi, Jonko joue un jeu dangereux : elle prétend coucher avec des hommes mûrs, mais dès que le client n’est plus sur ses gardes, elle l’assomme, lui vole son argent et s’enfuie. Elle entend ainsi profiter de ces hommes et du système en général qui veut que les petites écolières soient si prisées au Japon. La jeune Jonko rencontre bientôt Lisa, qui vient à peine de se faire voler toutes les économies qu’elle avait mis de coté afin de s’envoler pour New York. Epaulée par Raku, Jonko va user et abuser des ficelles qu’elle connaît si bien pour regagner en une nuit l’argent qui permettrait à Lisa de prendre l’avion qui doit décoller le lendemain.

A pair of Tokyo policewomen who pack their own brand of "deadly weapons" do some serious undercover work as they take on the toughest cases the department has to offer in this steamy mix of cop action and softcore drama.

Mitsubayashi, who works for Iwasa Construction, watches a horror movie with his girlfriend Chizuko, then joins friends at a gathering. Kagamiko, a travel planner, organizes a horror tour with Yashiro, a psychic researcher. The group includes friends Hatoko, Saori, and Mitsurin, who’s engaged, along with Iwasa Construction’s president and managing director. The next day, Mitsubayashi’s body is found, drained of blood, and Lieutenant Amemori investigates. He learns Mitsubayashi had been near haunted Hirozawa Pond, where Yashiro shares ghost tales from the Heian period. Later, Chizuko dies in a similar, eerie manner. Ghosts tied to the Tengu of Atago-yama warn Kyoko, Hatoko, and Saori about strange events. Chizuko and Mitsubayashi’s deaths resemble vampire attacks, linked to the vengeful spirit Shuhime. Kagamiko, Hatoko, and Saori search Mitsubayashi’s ransacked apartment while being spied on. Hauntings intensify, revealing a spirit named Mayumi as Princess Akemi’s ghost.

Based on the comic book series of the same name by Tetsumi Dokou and Makio Hara.
