Shabake

Young Ichitaro is a sickly boy, confined to his family's apothecary in Edo-period Japan. While his physical ailments keep him from the bustling world outside, they also grant him a unique and secret gift: the ability to see and speak with the myriad gods and spirits that inhabit the world around him. This isn't always a blessing, however, as these divine beings often bring their own complex problems and mischievous antics right to his doorstep. When a series of mysterious incidents plague the city, Ichitaro finds himself unexpectedly drawn into their investigation. Aided by his otherworldly companions and the practical wisdom he gleans from his adoptive family, he must unravel these perplexing crimes, navigating the delicate balance between the human and supernatural realms to bring peace back to Edo.
