Summary:
The story revolves around high school student Akira Nikaido, a typical slacker living a normal life. That is, until he meets the mysterious Shirogane, a man who suddenly appears and tells him to meet him at the school that night. Though he is skeptical, he goes anyway, and subsequently gets attacked by a shadow monster. Shirogane convinces him that the balance between the human world and the shadow world has been distorted, and that Akira must become a "shin", which is a creature of the shadow world, in order to help restore the balance.

The anime starts off with a high amount of potential and excitement, but it seems that most of the episodes are extremely similar. Each episode has it's own story (with a larger story behind the scenes of course) and after only a few episodes its easy to start predicting what will happen: Darkness takes over because of emotions, talk to the infected person, darkness worm leaves body, kill it, rinse and repeat.
However, the characters are all lovable and interesting and when the main story finally heats up (takes a while), it gets really exciting. The ending was great as well and encouraged me to bring the story to a 4/5.
