The story is set in historical Edo and revolves around Ichitarō, a sickly young man who solves mysterious crimes with the help of supernatural beings. The central motif shows Ichitarō together with his two companions Ninkichi and Sasuke, while the introductory video presents freshly animated scenes featuring this trio.
