About

This is modern-day Tokyo, Japan. Amidst the rows of skyscrapers and shops, Yokai and Apparitions lurk in the shadows... The Exorcism Bureau was established 1,000 years ago to exorcise them. Along with its creation, five supreme bloodlines were established 1,000 years ago as well... The Abe family, descendants of Abe no Seimei; the Ashiya family, descendants of Ashiya Doman; The Fujiwara family, descendants of Fujiwara no Michizane; the Kamo family, descendants of Kamo no Tadayuki; And the Tokugawa family, descendants of Tokugawa Ieyasu. These five lineages continue to lead the world of exorcism to this day. Abe no Seimei, Ashiya Doman, Fujiwara no Michizane, Kamo no Tadayuki, and Tokugawa Ieyasu have all long since passed away.
