In an ancient Japan where the incursions of gods, ghosts, and demons into
the living world is an everyday event, an impoverished nobleman named Yamada no
Goji makes his living as a demon hunter for hire. With the occasional assistance
of the reprobate exorcist Kenji, whatever the difficulty - ogres, demons,
fox-spirits - for a price Yamada will do what needs to be done, even and
especially if the solution to the problem isn't as simple as the edge of a
sword. Yet, no matter how many monsters he has to face, or how powerful and
terrible they may be, the demons Yamada fears the most are his own!
