Nyx's Lantern

In 1878, as the wave of Western culture spreads through Japan, Miyo, a girl orphaned in the Satsuma Rebellion,
works at a curio shop in Nagasaki called Vingt.
The dresses, sewing machines, binoculars, boots, and other items acquired at the Paris Exhibition
by the proprietor Momotoshi Koura have aroused her curiosity.
Miyo accumulates experience in her job while using the clairvoyant ability she has possessed since she was very young.
This story vibrantly depicts a new age coming to a Nagasaki thriving with merchants and prostitutes, centering on Miyo's changes
as she begins to experience feelings for Momotoshi akin to the awakening of love, and Momotoshi's past, which gradually comes to light.
