Onmyoji: I Really Don’t Want to Become the Demon King

The eternal night draws near, and ghosts and monsters run rampant.

Eighteen years ago, the demoness Momiji of Mount Oe went out and came across the great Onmyoji Seimei, who was being hunted.

Seimei entrusted her with a newborn human baby. She brought the child back to Mount Oe and named him Shitian.

The Oni King Shuten Doji was infatuated with the demoness Momiji. When he learned the child was Seimei's, he decided to take revenge. He made the boy the young master and kept bringing in various Onmyoji to teach him their arts.

After eighteen years of training, the boy became a formidable Onmyoji.

But things did not go as planned. The boy was kindhearted and wanted humans and demons to live together in peace.

It was a fine ideal, but reality was cruel.

Shuten Doji's favoritism and Shitian's beliefs caused a rift in Mount Oe.

Mount Oe continued closing in on Heian-kyo, while the general's forces, led by Minamoto no Yorimitsu, suffered defeat after defeat.

One day, six generals from Mount Oe went out on patrol and suddenly vanished without a trace.

Sent by the Oni King to investigate, Shitian was ambushed and hunted by the general's forces.

Was there a traitor within Mount Oe?

Who was it?

Even more shocking, the general's forces had somehow acquired the power to fight demons.

Demon blades!
