Onmyoji plot summary

Two exorcists, Minamoto no Hiromasa and Abe no Seimei, come together to deal with demons who ravage through the human world for one reason or another. Their partnership is unlikely, as one is ruthless when it comes to expelling demons, while the other has a softer approach to demons, going so far as to find some of them “endearing.” Nevertheless, these opposites attract so well that there’s little to nothing that can stop them.
