Daily Exorcisms in Bubble-Era Tokyo

In Tokyo, where the bubble has just burst, people take their own lives every day.

“This building is haunted by evil spirits... I offer three options: exorcism, warding off evil, and spirit-suppression. Which one would you like? Each comes at a different price.”

“Your daughter is haunted by an evil spirit. It isn't serious yet, but in seven days, corpse energy will start appearing on her... Let her stay here for one night. If the spirit doesn't show itself, I'll go find it myself!”

“Just look around. Where are the real Taoist masters these days? They're all fakes. You think my ritual is expensive? I think the ritual implements cost a fortune these days. Take it or leave it...”

“Ma'am, you wouldn't want your husband to remain unconscious from now on, would you?”

My name is Li Xiuming. I'm just a humble spirit exorcist.
