The series is set in a post-apocalyptic future,[1] taking place across three distinct realms: Hole, a sprawling favela-like city inhabited by humans, heavily polluted from sorcerers' magic; the Sorcerers' world, a vibrant land filled with magic users and controlled by sorcerer crime boss En; and Hell, a torturous underworld occupied by all deceased sorcerers and ruled by demons, presided over by head demon Chidaruma.
Despite appearing similar, humans and sorcerers are two distinct species, the former evolving naturally while the latter originated from a primordial devil named Chidaruma. Sorcerers have specialized circulatory system that allows them to produce "smoke", the source of their unique magical powers. Most sorcerers have weaker powers while others may be capable of far greater feats such as resurrecting the dead or controlling time; these powers are incredibly rare and highly prized. The amount of smoke a sorcerer is capable of producing determines the effectiveness of their magic abilities. Many sorcerers work to improve their smoke output through surgery, or more commonly, the illicit use of black powder, a smoke-enhancing drug distributed by criminals. Smoke can also be bought and sold similar to magic pawning, with sold magic retaining the effects as when it is cast.
Both the magic realm and Hole are overwhelmingly lawless. Historically, Hole was run by violent community vigilantes who would torture and kill suspected sorcerers and their families, though they have since dissolved, the outcome is that Hole's inhabitants are largely helpless to stop sorcerers from experimenting on and killing them, to the point specialist hospitals have to be run to save human victims of magic attacks. Additionally, the magic realm was previously run by traffickers who would drain sorcerers of magic for resale before dumping their bodies; En is one of the few surviving victims of this, ultimately tearing the empire down to establish himself as a ruling mob boss of the magic world.
The realms are structured not unlike a caste system: demons are highest ranked, deeply respected and revered by sorcerer-kind and follow the bidding of Chidaruma; within sorcerer-kind there is a hierarchical system wherein powerful magic users live in luxury selling their skills, whilst sorcerers who are weaker, unskilled, or have less desirable magic can live in abject poverty within their world; and lowest are humans, forced to live in the slums of Hole surrounded by severe pollution and magic acid rain caused by sorcerers. In response to the abuses they endure a number of weak sorcerers and humans join a prevalent gang called The Cross-Eyes, its members identifiable by red cross tattoos on their eyelids, who work to provide weaker peoples with illegal black powder and to oppose En's family.
