Story: Utsushiyochigai - A Parallel Japan

Utsushiyochigai is a world parallel to our own, inhabited by gods and Yokai – a forgotten Japan connected to our world long ago. This story follows Setsuna and Tsukumo in a new generation Urashima Taro tale as they investigate a mysterious incident on a cursed beach in Utsushiyochigai.

Prologue

I. About Utsushiyochigai:
Once, our world was entwined with Utsushiyochigai, where humans, gods, and Yokai shared civilizations. Traditional festivals and events thrived, but over time, interaction waned, and the connection faded. Humans forgot their boundaries with Utsushiyochigai, losing their relationship with the gods and Yokai, who eventually disappeared from our world, relegated to phantom beings.

Ⅱ. About "KIK":
Setsuna, an ordinary office worker, gains the ability to travel between worlds after meeting Tsukumo, a clock Yokai. Tsukumo can manipulate time using the power of "Kokuikkoku(KIK)." Through their encounter, Setsuna also learns to harness Yokai powers, enabling her to fight alongside Tsukumo, who proposes an unusual daily routine: exterminating Yokai in Utsushiyochigai.

Ⅲ. The Beginning:
On a secluded beach in Utsushiyochigai stands an abandoned house. Once a thriving fisherman's village, tragedy struck when a young man disappeared while fishing. The villagers moved away, fearing a Yokai's curse, but the young man's family remained, waiting for his return. Centuries later, eerie voices emanate from the abandoned house. The young man's family has transformed into a Yokai, consumed by hatred for the sea. More and more Yokai appear, causing the sea to become rough and preventing anyone from fishing. People pray to the gods, hoping the Yokai will subside.

Ⅳ. Beginning of Journey:
Tsukumo, overhearing the story of the cursed beach, investigates in Utsushiyochigai. Tsukumo shares the tale with Setsuna. Despite initial disinterest in "fishing", the promise of solving the mystery and the allure of the supernatural draw Setsuna in, and they embark on a journey to Utsushiyochigai to confront the powerful Yokai. This is a dangerous mission!
