Kakiuchi City serves as the main setting of Onisarashi-hen, Someutsushi-hen and Kageboushi-hen.
Kakiuchi City is described as a commuter town adjacent to the metropolitan area in the Chubu region of Japan, with shopping centers, movie theaters and other modern facilities that Okinomiya does not offer. It is blessed with a robust transportation network, including an airport and was famous in the 1980s for its dramatic population rise at the time. Saeki Hospital, owned by Chisato Saeki's family is another notable location in which many important events take place.
