A brief synopsis of Onmyou Kaiten Re:Birth Verse

Onmyou Kaiten Re:Birth Verse is an action-fantasy isekai series that follows Takeru Narihira, a delinquent high schooler and loner who’s captivated by a mysterious girl named Tsukimiya he sees in his dreams.

After a sudden accident, Takeru is isekai-ed to Denji Heian-kyou, a futuristic alternate version of the historical Heian-kyō (Kyoto’s ancient name as Japan’s capital in the Heian era). This new world blends advanced technology with mysticism and exists under the protection of the legendary onmyouji, Abe no Seimei. In a surprising twist, Takeru finds that Tsukimiya is real and lives in this world.

However, their fated encounter is abruptly cut short when a dark mist known as Yamikaoru appears, unleashing deadly Oni monsters. Both Takeru and Tsukimiya are killed, but Takeru mysteriously reawakens in Denji Heian-kyou, alive once more.

Realizing he possesses the ability to rewind time, Takeru vows to change Tsukimiya’s fate. To do so, he seeks out Abe no Seimei to train in onmyōjutsu, the mystical techniques of this world, determined to become an onmyouji himself and uncover more about this strange, new world.

Onmyou Kaiten Re:Birth Verse episode 1 is expected to introduce audiences to Takeru’s transition from his ordinary life into an unfamiliar new realm. The debut episode will likely establish the foundation of the narrative, exploring how Takeru’s story begins and the events that lead to his arrival in Denji Heian-kyou.

A key focus is anticipated to be Tsukimiya, Takeru’s dream crush, until she becomes real. Upon reincarnating in this new era, as a stranger with no known origin, Takeru is naturally viewed with suspicion, even by Tsukimiya herself.

Episode 1 of this original anime is set to explore Takeru’s early struggles as he adjusts to a strange new environment, only to be shaken further by a sudden attack from the Oni-monsters, which will catalyze his transformation and the start of his journey.
