They were once cards, fragments of magic, and embodiments of rules.
Until their master used the power of flesh and blood as a catalyst, transforming them from cards into shikigami with spiritual bodies that could walk among the living.
The source of the calamity lurked in the shadows. They followed their master to Japan, then were scattered across every corner of the land.
They monitor anomalies, purge corruption, and each protect their own domain.
They are observers, guardians, and travelers.
Every encounter is a coincidence. Every bond is something that "should not be."
"Those who are not human cannot form bonds."
"And yet the wind here, the people here, and the changing seasons all say: Stay."
An anthology of the shikigami and their heartwarming journey of forming bonds.
They are forbidden to form bonds, but they insist on doing so.
