A delinquent high schooler named Takeru Narehira resides in our world, but after an unfortunate accident, is transported to Denji Heian-kyō.

He puts together that he has the power to go back in time. Now he resolves to learn this world’s version of mystical onmyōjutsu techniques, and become an onmyōji sorcerer to save Tsukimiya.
