Noroko is a ghost that lies dormant within an ancient Japanese doll. The doll is owned by an antique collector, who was attracted by the stories of the ghost in the doll (which he had never seen). When the king of the other world is murdered and his heart is ripped out, the huge power emanated from it awakens the ghost who escapes the doll and kills the collector. Noroko travels through the worlds searching for the heart hoping its power can end her suffering and grudge.
