Monsters are fantastical forms born from the obsessions gathered in human hearts. They cling to hatred, fear, and delusion, following people like shadows as they weave one eerie, alluring scene of worldly life after another.
In this world overrun by spirits and demons, the Medicine Seller travels among the joys and sorrows of human life.
Beneath the moonlit skies of Heian-kyo, a phantom carriage weeps blood, and love so obsessive it turns to bone;
In the silkworm house of Ayakushi Village, silk binds a baby's cries, while a mother's resentment becomes a cocoon;
Along the coast of Oshu, black mist swallows ships, and the eyes of the dead stare out...
Behind every eerie, alluring legend lies a reflection of the abyss within human nature.
Form, Truth, Reason: only by seeing through appearances, uncovering the truth, and grasping the obsession can the demon-slaying sword be drawn.
When the demon-slaying sword's lion's cry rings out and its hidden form awakens,
is she purifying the monsters, or are the monsters redeeming the human world?
The illustrated scroll of worldly life slowly unfurls. All living beings suffer.
This exorcism journey through neon-lit myth and the joys and sorrows of human life is about to begin.
