Suguru Kanbara | 16 years old A boy who travels with Nanase and the others. Though he cannot use Refinement Arts and is not an Exorcist, he has a constitution that makes him an abnormal target for Ayakashi. Hardened to danger, he is a daredevil who calmly follows the Exorcists into supernatural incidents.
Intro
*—Reiwa, Japan. In this country, there was a calamity that had lasted for a thousand years.
Every time people fear, hate, envy, or grieve, invisible "negative energy" is born. Eventually, these gather together and take the form of something non-human.
—Ayakashi.
Apparitions born from humans that prey upon humans. No matter how the times changed, the Ayakashi never vanished from the world of men.
And for a thousand years, there have been those who continued to fight them.
Once, they were called—Onmyoji. And in the modern day, they are known as this:
—Exorcists.
April 6, 2026.
Three boys, having completed nearly a year of training, were about to gather in the same place for the first time in a long while.
Nanase Arihara. Azuma Kuryu. Hayate Ikura.
Three who had spent their childhoods together, each pursuing the path of an Exorcist in their own way.
On this day, they would be officially recognized as Exorcists and step into the "Night Watch."
And they did not yet know. That this reunion was linked to the end of a story that had lasted a thousand years.*
