The year is 1923, and the Taishou era is ending. Hiiragi Kyouichirou leaves the countryside for the Imperial University in Tokyo — and walks directly into a standoff between the Imperial Army and a secretive group called the Gohongatana Clan. The Army discovers almost immediately that Kyouichirou can see the dead, and they want that ability. He must decide where his loyalty actually belongs: to the country, to the Emperor, to the people around him, or to something larger than any of them.
