Legend has it that during the Heian period in Japan, when the world was still divided between light and darkness, humans, ghosts, and demons coexisted. Onmyoji Abe no Seimei, dressed in flowing white robes, was elegant and unrestrained; samurai Minamoto no Hyouma, with a long sword at his waist, was simple and upright. As devoted friends, they were indifferent to life and death, wandering between the realms of the living and the dead, solving strange mysteries with wit, and easing the worries of both humans and ghosts. Gripping! Exquisite! A dream-like story!
