あらすじ
An urban fantasy woven from Japanese folklore, action, and mystery. Tokyo never sleeps, a maze of neon lights and deep shadows, where ancient legends intertwine with modern life. Ryo, a young half-Italian yokai hunter, knows this hidden side of the city all too well. His job is to solve cases tied to the spirit world, but nothing has prepared him for what's coming. When Rin Takasugi, a mysterious and captivating girl, crosses his path, Ryo is pulled into a nightmare beyond imagination. Agares, an ancestral demon with only one goal: to unleash the Hyakki Yagyō, the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, and drag Tokyo into darkness. With the help of his sharp-tongued mentor Yami, an old kannushi, a shape-shifting tanuki, and a trigger-happy yakuza, Ryo must venture into the depths of the Spirit Gai, the yokai underworld, to find a way to stop the apocalypse. Packed with breathtaking battles, ancient rituals, and a journey through the supernatural, Tokyo Nocturne - The Spirit Parade is a tale of courage, sacrifice, and redemption-blending action, horror, and Japanese folklore into a haunting and adrenaline-fueled adventure. If you crave dark urban fantasy, Japanese folklore, and epic clashes between humans and spirits, this book is for you.
