    Synopsis:

    Kantarou Ichinomiya carries a unique burden: the ability to perceive demons, a secret that has shaped a solitary life marked by misunderstanding. He's fostered unexpected camaraderie with these beings, developing a deep respect for their world. Driven by fascination with legend, Kantarou dedicates himself to locating the Tengu, a powerful demon said to vanquish ogres – a being of immense strength he aspires to meet. Earning a living as both a folklorist and demon-expeditioner, his pursuits lead him to a remote shrine rumored to be the Tengu’s prison. The narrative explores themes of isolation, acceptance, and the blurred lines between folklore and reality as Kantarou closes in on a figure who represents both mythic power and profound mystery. The series unfolds with a contemplative pace, emphasizing character interaction and environmental detail over action-oriented sequences.
