Characters
Masato
An immortal with the face of an angel but the soul of a devil. Masato has lived for over 800 years and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Because of his childlike body, he is unable to function in the modern world without a guardian, so he wanders the country feeding mermaid's flesh to women in order to gain an immortal companion.
Yuta and Mana first meet Masato on a train where he is going to visit his mother, Misa. Soon, Yuta and Mana witness a shocking scene of Misa trying to kill Masato. Masato wastes no time in trying to find a replacement in his nanny, Yukie. But when he feeds her the mermaid's flesh, she becomes a Lost Soul and attacks. Yuta and Mana arrive just in time to save him, but Misa dies in the attack.
Masato and Mana get seperated from Yuta and when Masato learns that Mana is an immortal, he decides that she will become his new "mother." Masato holds Mana captive and returns to face off with Yuta, subjecting him to numerous traps and finally a violent death. Before he can completely cut of Yuta's head, Mana rushes in and stops him. Masato decides to escape while he can, but becomes involved in a car accident and is thought to have perished.
