Mononoke Soushi

In the dimly lit sake houses where song and laughter hold sway, a young performer moves with practiced grace—but hers is no ordinary act. Marked upon her palm is the tattoo of a watchful eye, a mystical sigil that grants her the rare and unsettling power of "second sight." This ability allows her to perceive what others cannot, revealing the hidden truths and spiritual undercurrents that flow just beneath the surface of the mortal world. While this gift often proves invaluable, it is also an unshakable burden, constantly pulling her into the shadowy affairs of beings most humans will never know exist. Her life is a precarious dance between the mundane and the monstrous. With every performance, she risks glimpsing the supernatural forces that lurk in the periphery, from mischievous animal spirits to the elusive and eerie kappas of river lore. These creatures are not mere legends to her, but tangible, often dangerous, presences that seek her out or cross her path by terrible coincidence. Bound by her unique perception and the strange mark on her hand, she finds herself caught in a web of otherworldly conflicts, her fate intertwined with the very spirits she might rather avoid.
