Ai Astin, a young gravekeeper, has her life changed forever when an immortal gunslinger named Hampnie Hambart shoots everyone in her village except for her. Having no place left to live, Ai ends up relying on the same man who killed everyone around her as she travels the world to perform her duties as a gravekeeper and to learn more about the reasons why the world had reached such a state.
