Synopsis


It's  not  unusual  for lady-killer Renzaburo Taki to share a night with a woman. When that woman can turn into a  demonic  spider,  however, it's  just  a  little  worrying.  The  demons  are  on  the move, and as a member of the Black Guard, Taki's job -- his "real" job -- is  to  protect the   human   world   from   the   demon   world.   And his work is just beginning! A fragile peace exists between the two worlds, brokered by a treaty. In order for the renewal of that  treaty  to  go  smoothly,  Taki has  to  protect  Giuseppi  Mayart,  a  two  hundred year old man with immense spiritual power,   from   an   extremist   faction   of   demons seeking   to   bring   chaos   to   the   two  worlds. Worst of all, Taki's assigned a partner for the mission: the unnaturally beautiful Makie,  a fellow  Black Guard member... and herself a demon! The two will have to go all out to protect the old man, as not only are the demons going to extreme lengths to kill him, but Mayart seems  oddly  unconcerned for  his  own  safety.  Is  there  more  going  on  than  Taki  and Makie realize?
US Release Date: August 20, 1993
