While researching these old myths and legends, he encounters the Ongyou, a mysterious trio of detectives. The Ongyou are dedicated to investigating the truths behind the legends and bringing those responsible for wrongdoing to justice.

As he delves deeper into the world of these tales, he begins to witness things he was never meant to see. The series explores themes of justice, morality, and the dark side of human nature through the lens of Japanese folklore.
