Fateful Hour

The Quarrel Between The “Mayakashi” And The “Shiranui” Continues With The Tale Of “Girl Meets Ghost”

A hundred years after the war, the people live in a time of fleeting peace. However, the truth behind that history is a battle between the deceitful “Mayakashi” who dwell in the darkness and toy with the hearts of men, and the “Shiranui” who defeat them.

The “Shiranui Style” With The Power To Eradicate The “Mayakashi”

The “Spectralsword” which carries the soul of the style’s founder sealed within, has been passed down from generation to generation to the most talented disciples of the “Shiranui Style”. While the existence of the “Mayakashi” remains hidden from the general public, some people, including those who wield the “Spectralsword”, have passed down the history of their battle against the “Mayakashi” to one another, all of them destined to commit themselves to a mighty conflict for the greater good

In a fierce battle several centuries ago, he was sealed by the “Mayakashi”, but thanks to the actions of “Samuraisaga”, the Yokai Magic of the “Mayakashi” have been greatly curtailed, and for many years they were unable to act out in the open.
