The nineteenth century for Japan was marked by a clash with more developed Western states. In a country isolated from the outside world for more than two centuries, reformation began. It was called the “Meiji Restoration” - the reign of light. However, despite the name given by the emperor, the reign was not light. Any reform will have its opponents. Even in such turbulent times, youkai continue to live in the country. They live among people, hiding among them. They are found in forests, mountains and even at the bottom of rivers. But what if among the youkai there is one who is not one, but cannot be considered a human either. How will he live in such a world.
