Characters
Kiera - Kiwi traveling the world after her dad died of Alzheimer's. She is a instagram star and that is what pays the bills when she buys a pencil at a store that turns out to be a holy weapon. A naginata. People start attacking her because of this and she is forced to change her plans.
Inari - a god who sells the naginata to Kiera because she thinks the girl can help the Yokai come out to the world in a way that will allow people to accept them instead of hunting them down. Not everyone agrees.
​
