Description

I find myself where the souls of dead children are. Oikiku is a restless wandering spirit who, for centuries, roams the world and helps the dead find peace. Three hundred years ago she herself died young—and since then she has been taking the soul of everyone who caused children suffering.

One day, Oikiku notices an unusual teenage outcast from the neighborhood named Tark: his body is covered with writhing tattoos. People avoid him, but Oikiku understands—he isn’t a monster. These marks barely keep the evil spirit inside him, and in mirrors Tark often sees a woman in black, her face hidden by a mask. To be freed from the curse, he needs help from Japanese miko—medium priestesses. But there’s a condition: if the demon dies, the one in whom it is contained will die as well.
