The television series features the voice talents of Kana Hanazawa, Satoshi Hino, Natsumi Fujiwara, and Yuka Nukui. The story takes place in a land where demons live among people and a long-standing tradition requires a human to be sacrificed to the King of Beasts to assert dominance over the human race. When the 99th sacrifice, a girl named Sariphi, is offered to the King, she displays no fear. Intrigued by her calm nature, the King decides to spare her life and chooses to keep her as his consort.
