While driving through a tunnel with a stowaway Mayart, they are ensnared by Kanako, who-having determined that Taki and Makie were partnered for genetic reasons-attempts to kill them again. Upon returning to the clinic, the pair are fired by Taki's superior, who deems Taki's desires a liability to his duties.
While tending to each other, Makie reveals to Taki that she was once romantically involved with a member of the Radicals, and that she joined the Black Guard because of her belief in the need for peace between the two worlds. A female Radical attempts to seduce Taki, asking him if he ever copulated with Makie, but he kills her and the Radicals violating Makie, and wounds Shadow. Ignoring Mayart's threats that he will be fired, he pursues Shadow to a dilapidated building far from the hospital, where he finds Makie being gang raped by Radicals. Shadow-the leader of the Radicals-uses a psychic projection to taunt Taki into rescuing Makie. Upon their arrival at the clinic, Mayart begins his recovery, while Mr. Halfway there, Makie is taken prisoner by a tentacle demon, and Taki is forced to leave her behind. Makie and Taki find him in a soapland in the grip of a Radical who has sapped his health, prompting a frantic trip to a spiritual hospital under Black Guard protection. During an assault on the hotel by a Radical, Mayart sneaks out. While playing chess to pass time, the hotelier explains to Taki, who is unsure of his responsibilities within the Black Guard, that he will only value his position once he knows what he is protecting. Taki and Makie eventually meet Mayart the trio take shelter in a Hibiya hotel with spiritual barriers to protect it from Radicals. While awaiting Mayart's arrival at Narita, Taki is attacked by two Radicals at the runway, but is saved by his partner-a beautiful fashion model named Makie. Taki is also informed that he will be working with a partner: a Black Guard from the Black World. The next day, Taki is assigned to protect Giuseppe Mayart, a comical and perverted 200-year-old mystic who is a signatory for a ratified treaty between the Human World and the Black World, and a target for the Radicals. Kanako reveals herself to be a spider-like doppelgänger from the Black World Radicals and escapes with a sample of Taki's semen after attempting to kill him. In Tokyo, Renzaburō Taki, a salaryman for an electronics company by day, and a Black Guard when needed, has casual sex with Kanako, a young woman who he has been meeting at a local bar for three months. Both sides of the continuum are protected by an organization of secret agents called the Black Guard, specifically from a group of radicalized members of the Black World.
For centuries, a peace treaty between the Black World and the world of humans has been maintained to ensure relative harmony. The existence of the "Black World"-an alternate dimension populated by supernatural demons-is known to few humans. The story takes place towards the end of the 20th century and explores the idea that the human world secretly coexists with the demon world with a secret police force known as the Black Guard protecting the boundary.
