Story

Priests who have spiritual power and keep the balance between heaven and earth while slowly using up their life power are called Youmeishi. Ki Tanmoku, who is one of the Youmeishi, has the duty to catch the spirits of the world. It is not only the evil ghosts who aim for the Yomeishi’s life and spiritual power; even other skillful people are targeting them for their power or status. Since the attacks never stop, Tanmoku is pretty much constantly fighting. In this situation, the only one Tanmoku was able to face head-on was Keika Yo, someone with a close destiny to Tanmoku. Is their relationship nothing more than one between a Youmeishi and an Eirei? What kind of connection will the two of them have? This season will include the past of Tanmoku we couldn’t face in Season 1 and then we will follow new stories. What in the world is the Shouken that has been sleeping in his memory?
