Ayashi no Ceres is a 14-volume manga by Yuu Watase, which later is adapted into anime with 24 half-hour episodes. This story revolves around a teenage girl Aya and her twin brother, Aki. They are members of the wealthy and influential Mikage family. On their sixteenth birthday, Aya and Aki were thrown with a surprise party in their grandfather’s mansion. When they reached the huge mansion, they were shocked because all the important people in the family are present in their ‘’surprise party”.

Firstly, Aya was given a giftbox from her grandfather. She was alarmed when she saw a mummified hand in the box. She began to feel uneasy and her heart pumped real hard. Suddenly, she saw Aki, who was siting beside her, suffered severe cuts and bruises all over his body. When Aya tried to help Aki, she was pulled away and to be killed.

Aya and Aki actually is uncertain what happened to them. When Aya was to be killed, her celestial powers were unleashed, causing chaos in the main hall and resulted many people died, including her father. Later, she was rescued by the Tooya, an assassin employed by the Mikage family and helped by the Aogiri siblings. Can Aya retrieve her past when she was a Celestial maiden, Ceres? Will she be able to avenge her loss? Will she be able to go to Heaven?
