Nature has a food chain. The "law of the jungle" pyramid shows that humans are the strongest creatures because they eat both carnivores and herbivores. What would happen if a man-eating creature existed? That would be the Ogre, a man-eating demon born from a seed that entered a human body...

Mikito Sakurai is a gentle-hearted high school student who doesn't want to hurt others and would rather be hurt than hurt themselves. Because of this, he is often the butt of the jokes of his classmates. One day, he dreams of meeting a mysterious boy named Zakuro and asking for his powers. That's the beginning of his adventure as a man-eating demon!

At first, Mikito decides to commit suicide because he's afraid of his appetite for humans. However, he eventually comes to his senses and decides to find a way to break the curse. He goes to school as usual, but suddenly, an Ogre-hunting hunter appears in his class! What will happen to Mikito next? Read on for Kurozakuro...
