Synopsis: Among the quiet villages and towns of 18th century Europe, demons known as the Ill hide within the most beautiful works of art, sparked to life by the torment of their creators. Attracted by their jewel-like allure, the unwary find themselves possessed by the Ill and driven to horrific acts of violence. Only the hunters of the Ciste Vihad can dispel the Ill.
March is one such hunter, tracking the Ill from town to town to find the antiques that contain the demons before they can possess anyone. If the worst has come to pass, March's full powers are unleashed to battle the fiendish Ill. Born of tragedy, the artifacts all have their own tales to tell, as do each of their victims. But March's story may be the most tragic of all.

Side notes: R17 comes from the note tag from a manga reading site... and should be also noted due of the "seinen" genre tag. Though it becomes pretty clear already in the first chapter why there is the R17 marking (-> partial nudity, violence and blood).>.< Still if looking past of this surface there is also something good. The story itself is a fine setting and art mostly on a good level. So it depends a lot of the reader what they think of the manga and it's style.^-¨
