Corpse Princess: Aka

In a world where the restless spirits of the dead can cling to their earthly forms, transforming into Shikabane—undead monsters driven by regret and malice—humanity finds itself in a precarious balance. To combat this spectral threat, the mysterious Kougon Sect employs its own unique weapon: Corpse Princesses. These young women, tragically slain before their time, are resurrected and bound to a living contracted priest, fighting the Shikabane in exchange for a chance at true peace. Follow Makina Hoshimura, a newly awakened Corpse Princess, as she embarks on a brutal quest for vengeance against the Shikabane responsible for her family's demise. Alongside her contracted priest, Ouri, a seemingly ordinary boy with an extraordinary connection to the supernatural, Makina navigates a dark and dangerous reality where every battle brings her closer to — or further from — her ultimate salvation. It's a gripping tale of action, sacrifice, and the blurred lines between life and death.
