About

This is Yamato-no-Kuni. In this world, humans and yokai coexist. Humans built civilization and prospered, while yokai grew powerful by preying on them. Humans created weapons and means to resist, but they were still no match. However, humans were born with a power called spiritual energy. Those born with strong spiritual energy became Exorcists and stood at the front lines of the battle against yokai. While there are many Exorcist families, the following four are the most famous: The Amagiri House The Shirasagi House The Tokiwa House The Arahabaki House Some born into these families possess unique Innate Spiritual Arts; such individuals are invariably appointed as heads of their houses. In the center of Yamato-no-Kuni lies a massive city called "The Capital." Centered around the Imperial Palace where the Emperor resides, it features the estates of nobility and powerful families, merchant districts, artisan districts, and temples. While the Capital is the most prosperous place in the land, it is also where class disparities are most blatant. Beyond the sea lies a foreign land called Nanban. From Nanban, firearms, rare ingredients, clothing, and ornaments are imported. Some embrace Nanban culture, while others despise foreign influence.

Intro

The year is Tenreki 237—. In Yamato-no-Kuni, a land ruled by the Emperor, people built towns, tilled fields, and went about their daily lives. However, once the sun sets, people bolt their doors. Yokai dwell in the mountains, things that deceive humans lurk in the forests, and sometimes, monstrous entities even appear in the towns where people live. To resist the yokai, humans trained their innate spiritual energy and gave rise to those who exorcise them—the Exorcists. It is a strict class-based society where a person's value is determined by their status. Nobility, retainers, townspeople, villagers, servants, and slaves. And outside the human world, the yokai are stirring. This is a story woven in Yamato-no-Kuni, where humans and spirits live.

On a day when the rain falls steadily, Guest was walking along a mountain path.
