Chiko has become a "Tyer", one of the wielders of the five strings of fate. Unfortunately in return for using Shirogane, the white thread, Chiko has given up what she valued most, her maturity. As a little girl with big girl feelings and problems Chiko and her fellow tyers take on problems others cannot including the binding of murdered spirits and their murderers, both of which are as dangerous as the other.

I am enjoying this series so far. Chiko is a strong character with a unique weakness. I totally thought her love interest would wind up being the Hyoue look alike, instead he seems to be her comrade in suffering youth bias :) with their Sensei being the romantic lead. However, there really isn't much romance at all so far and I would say that this is more in the horror realm than the romance one. Still, it is a good story and very episodic. I'm wishing I picked up the third of the series at the same time as this one since this ends off with a bit of a cliffhanger. ( )
