Something happens to Katagiri Jinpachi late one night when he unwittingly wanders into the youkai market. The only one who knows what it was seems to be one Harada Oriza, a famed painter of youkai portraits. But he is not talking, and Jinpachi only grows more frustrated and confused as he tries to return to the market and find out what he lost... or gained there.

Katagiri Jinpachi, a man with a penchant for the bizarre, and Harada Oriza, an enthusiast known as Obake-sensei. A record of the wonders, fears, and curiosities of these two men with a connection to the "other side."

A timid girl who would rather stay quiet than challenge her peers. A popular boy who tries his hardest to live up to other people’s expectations. A strange boy who is content to stay in his little bubble. And the summer that will change their lives.
