The wedding of Eiichi was ruined by the suicide of a woman rumored to be a witch. His affair with his lover ended in disaster as she hung herself during his wedding to another woman. To the horror of the guests, the dead woman gave birth to a girl, whom they named Tsumiko (Great Shame). As Tsumiko grew up, she resembled her mother more and more each day. She had to compete with her younger sister, Megumi, who was everything she wasn't. With tensions rising at home and school, Tsumiko did everything in her power to make her life better.
