Title: Kishin no Kōdō (Curiosity of the Demon God) Tagline: "Curiosity can awaken the strongest of powers... but at what cost?" Synopsis: Rinka is an ordinary high school student... until a forbidden curiosity leads him to summon Jax, a Primordial Demon of Strength and Curiosity. Bound together, Rinka discovers powers beyond human comprehension, allowing him to control demons and reshape reality itself. Yet this newfound strength comes with a price. The world hides ten other Primordial Demons, each more enigmatic and powerful than the last. Among them is Erebus, a demon bound to the mysterious exorcist Shun-Rinka's rival and friend-whose sudden disappearance sparks a journey filled with danger, secrets, and forbidden knowledge. As Rinka delves deeper into the occult, testing the limits of his power and curiosity, he must confront ancient forces, shadowy rivals, and the hidden truths behind the Primordials. Every step forward reveals more about the delicate line between power and obsession-and whether curiosity can survive the darkness it awakens.
