She calls the thing a virus, which is apparently a type of demon that feeds on those with the "vision" (like Sumire), turning them into viruses as well.

About the monster, she formed herself to the monster of her side before. She met the mystery girl who help her.
I loved this the clothes the most of all
Gothic lolita demon hunter. Nuff said? NO?
The art is decent and the idea has potential but volume one didn't get me very invested in the characters. I liked it enough that I will likely give volume 2 a chance though and see where it goes from there.
