[edit] Story
Yuina Hatori is a shy high school sophomore who lives with her aunt because her mother is deceased and her father is too busy with his work to care for her. She dislikes speaking up for herself because she fears troubling others. Her one passion is singing, but as she is so timid, she is unable to sing in front of others. She believes her life to be normal, but then she has an encounter with Seraph, a humanoid android, an "Emulate" who is searching for Lucifer, the "black winged one." Things only complicate more when Yuina's childhood friend, Akiho Kudoh, transfers to her school.
[edit] Characters
Yuina Hatori
The main character of the story. She is withdrawn and doesn't want to trouble anyone. She enjoys singing, but she lacks confidence in her abilities.
Seraph
An Emulate from another point in space and time. Like all Emulates, she is a battle android who can make contracts with humans and merge with them to give them great power. Before she made a contract with Yuina, her former human was a beautiful woman who also enjoyed singing.
Lucifer
Known as the "black winged one" to Seraph. She is one of seven Emulates who refused to submit to humans and thus committed the most terrible of sins, in her words. She hates humans because she believes them to be arrogant, violent creatures. She is named after the fallen angel.
