[not verified in body] The main character, Momiji Fujimiya, is a descendant of the mythical Princess Kushinada (奇稲田姫, Kushinada-hime).

Both the anime and OVA (under the name Blue Seed Beyond) were licensed by ADV Films in the United States until 2009, when the company shut down.

In 1992, Momiji Fujimiya is a middle school student living with her mother and grandmother in the city of Izumo, Shimane.

One day, she is confronted on her way to school by a cat-eyed man with blue magatama beads embedded in his hands, who then attempts to kill her.

Momiji is saved by the sudden appearance of two government officials, one of whom shoots the man in the arm and sends him fleeing.

Momiji dismisses the idea that she could be such a person, but reconsiders after vines begin to appear from every crack and opening attempting to capture her.

The story becomes increasingly complex with the appearance of Murakumo, a man with eight mitamas who kills any Aragami he comes across for his own personal reasons.

There is also a three episode OVA, Blue Seed Beyond, which takes place two years after the end of the TV series.

Originally serialized by Takeshobo in Comic Ganma between March 1992 and June 1996, its 17 chapters were also collected into two Japanese Tankōbon volumes.
