A direct continuation of Shikabane Hime Aka, taking place six months after Tagami Keisei's death at the hands of the Shichisei (Seven Stars), a group of elite Shikabane who act on more than just regrets. As per Keisei's dying wish, Kagami Ouri formed a temporary contract with Makina to save her from degenerating into a Shikabane. Since then, Ouri's been training to become a proper monk so that he can remain contracted to Makina and help her fight against the Shichisei -- the ones who originally killed Makina, the entire Hoshimura family, and now Keisei. However, the traitorous monk Shishidou Akasha has sided with the Shichisei in an attempt to destroy all Shikabane Hime and the entire monk organization that uses them -- Kougon Sect.

Where it came from
Corpse Princess: Kuro serves as the second season of the anime adaptation of the manga series Shikabane Hime, created by Yoshiichi Akahito. Produced by the renowned studio Gainax in collaboration with feel., the series follows Makina Hoshimura, an undead warrior tasked with hunting other corpses to earn her place in heaven. This sequel continues the narrative trajectory established in the preceding season, maintaining the dark fantasy aesthetic that defined the studio's mid-2000s output.
The production sought to balance high-octane supernatural action with the internal moral conflicts of its protagonist. While Gainax is historically celebrated for experimental and psychological works, this series leaned into the conventions of the shonen supernatural genre. Upon its release, it was noted for its distinct visual identity and adherence to the source material's grim atmosphere, occupying a specific niche within the late-2000s anime landscape.
