Features: The Onmyoji is Mizuki Shigeru's most renowned work. Set in the dim and distant Heian period, it creates a mysterious and elegant world where humans and ghosts coexist, earning the title "Japan's Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" and hailed as a "classic of Eastern fantasy literature." Since its publication, it has been beloved by readers and swept across Asia. At the same time, due to its uniquely sensory-penetrating prose, The Onmyoji has been enthusiastically reviewed by readers as "a novel that bites." Based on this work, numerous films, TV dramas, and manga have been adapted, yet none have succeeded in surpassing the imaginative world of the novel. This set includes The Onmyoji, The Onmyoji: Flying Appearances, and The Onmyoji: Tengu and Tsukumogami.
Legend has it that in the Heian period of Japan, the world was a realm where light and darkness were intertwined, and humans, ghosts, and demons coexisted. Onmyoji Abe no Seimei, clad in white robes, was elegant and unrestrained; the warrior Minamoto no Hyouma, with his long sword at his waist, was simple and upright. As devoted friends who were indifferent to life and death, they wandered between the realms of the living and the dead, solving one strange event after another with wit and humor, easing the troubles of both humans and ghosts. Gripping! Exquisite! A dreamlike and spectacular story!
