   Juujin Sei-iki's original setting is far into the future, after human
technology brought the downfall of civilization.  The few humans who were
left either took to the air, land, or sea, and underwent sped up 
evolutionary changes, turning into mixes betwenimal and human.  In this
future, the King (a lion) has discovered that a dangerous criminal, Adomel 
Great Bear, has escaped with four henchmen into a Time Tunnel, emerging in
modern day Japan.  The King fears that not only did he time travel to 
escape capital punishment, but to kill humans and alter future events.  He 
calls up his two best agents, Leopard Onsa (leopard), and Ran Eagles 
(eagle) to enter the time tunnel and take care of Adomel.  Emerging in 
Japan, their forms split.  They become human, with the ability to change 
into a fully-animal form.  They take jobs in the police department, where 
they meet Akutsu Kyouko, a policewoman who takes her job much too seriously
to be bothered by two strange men who appear in her department.  However,
Onsa (Hyouma) overcomes his resentment of her, and they eventually fall in 
love.  Unfortunately, Adomel and his henchmen capture her.  Onsa and Ran 
undergo "Full-Trans" (short for Full-Transformation), and face Adomel at 
his hideout.  Adomel is hard to beat, and is about to kill Onsa, when 
Kyouko cries out  "DON'T KILL HIM!!!".  Suddenly, she breaks out in a 
sweat, and Ran realizes that she's also undergoing a Full-Trans.  She 
changes into a cougar, and attacks Adomel out of pure rage.  Together, all 
three manage to kill him.  However, until earlier this year (in Nora),
Kyouko was unaware of her being a Juujin.
 
    The story doesn't stop, however, when Ran and Onsa find out that more
Juujin have escaped into the time tunnel, not all of them evil.  Their new 
mission is to round the Juujin up and send them back.  Onsa resents this, 
because he cannot return home with Kyouko until they are all captured. 
However, as the story progresses through Book 2, Ran and Onsa remember 
their childhoods:  Ran's is pleasant, Onsa's is just plain ridiculous and 
pathetic.  Book 3 brings in new characters.  Rolf Moon was a friend of 
Onsa's "big brother" (who adopted him when his parents kicked him out of 
the cave), who promises to help and protect Onsa.  Rolf can change into a 
wolf.  He takes up a job as a school teacher.  Onsa and Kyouko affirm each 
other's love, and Onsa move out of Ran's apartment to live with her.  
Ran's fiancee, Teitania Hawk, appears, as one of the Juujin Hunters who 
were working in other parts of the world.  Along with Teitania comes 
Sheeta, Onsa's little sister.  Unfortunately, all their powers are now 
needed to fight the Juujin drug ring that has formed.  The leader kidnaps 
Kyouko, which brings out Onsa's ultimate rage...what will happen next?
