Synopsis of Gleipnir

Shuichi Kagaya hides a non-human nature. His sense of smell is far beyond that of any ordinary person and, under certain circumstances, he can transform into a beast of extraordinary power. To go unnoticed, he leads a quiet life and avoids anything that might draw attention to him. That routine breaks when he decides to use his strength to save a girl. From that gesture on, he discovers that every good deed has consequences. The young woman keeps secrets he knows nothing about and insists on getting close to Shuichi, although at first it's not clear why. The series airs on TOKYO MX, BS11, KBS Kyoto, ABEMA and Sun TV, and its main cast includes Natsuki Hanae, Nao Toyama and Kana Hanazawa.
