The story follows a young boy who can see ayakashi—spirits from the other world—and his encounter with a mysterious red-clad girl who offers him a dangerous pact. Known for its lush, atmospheric artwork and quiet dread, the series earned a devoted readership for its poignant exploration of memory, sacrifice, and the thin line between the human and spirit realms.
