- Introduction
- This film is an adaptation of a mystery-horror comic by Tomoko Yamashita, one of Japan’s hottest female manga creators. Yukihiro Morigaki, the movie’s director, has forged a prolific career as a composer of commercials for clients such as SHISEIDO and Nissin Cup Noodles, winning prizes both at home and abroad. His feature film directorial debut “Goodbye, Grandpa!” was released in 2017 to wide acclaim, and his wide-ranging work also includes directing television drama series. Its story is an exorcism mystery featuring the duo of Rihito Hiyakawa, who has the power to expel ghosts, and Kosuke Mikado, who has the ability to see them.
- Synopsis
- At first glance, bookstore employee Kosuke Mikado (Jun SHISON) appears to be an ordinary young man, but he has in fact been plagued from an early age with the unique ability to see the spirits of the dead. One day, he is visited at work by exorcist Rihito Hiyakawa (Masaki OKADA), who tells him: “When you’re with me, there’s nothing to fear.”
Mikado and Hiyakawa begin working together as exorcists for hire. They are soon contacted by police detective Hanzawa, who enlists their help in investigating a spate of serial murders from the year before. As they delve further into the mystery, they hear the voice of the dead murderer time and time again, who reveals a vital clue: “I was tricked...by Erika Hiura...” Who on earth is this woman? What is she trying to achieve? Can Mikado and Hiyakawa solve this case...? When the occult detective duo eventually cross paths with Erika, their three destinies are set in motion...
