It was summer in the 19th year of the Meiji era. Child demon Torasuke (along with his pal Ushimatsu) gathered souls of humans whose lifespan had come to an end. Although supposed to be invisible to humans, one day, Torasuke is accosted by a human named Souma. Torasuke, who has never been involved with the people of the earthly realm, is asked by Souma to help exorcise a ghost...? A touching and mysterious Meiji-era tale of the lives of this world and the afterlife. (Source: Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha, translated)
