Produced by Studio Gokumi, with direction by Yuji Yamaguchi and series composition by Tatsuhiko Urahata, this series delivers intense battles and heartfelt emotional bonds that set it apart as a must-watch for fans of dark fantasy romance.

In a world that appears ordinary on the surface, an ancient and deadly game lurks in the shadows. Kiri Haimura is a teenage boy who seems unremarkable at first glance, yet he harbors an unusual obsession: an overwhelming compulsion to cut the hair of those around him. His life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Iwai Mushanokouji, a mysterious girl known as the "Hair Queen" — a title born from a generations-old curse that prevents her hair from ever being cut. Strangely, the scissors Kiri carries, known as the "Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge," appear to share a unique connection with her curse. Yet their meeting sets far more in motion than either could anticipate. Hidden within society are individuals who wield cursed implements called "Killing Goods," and the existence of the Hair Queen draws their attention. A blood-soaked game with roots stretching back through history is quietly awakening around the two of them.
