Nyx no Lantern

ニュクスの角灯〈ランタン〉

After losing both parents, Miyo Yamaguchi is taken in by a distant uncle and a strict aunt who is eager to find her work. Following several failed attempts, the unfortunate orphan finally gets a break when she becomes a sales clerk at a curiosity shop. Although she does not meet the usual requirements, Miyo has a rare ability that catches the eye of the shop's owner, Momotoshi Koura: by touching any object, she can see its past and future owners. Along with the exotic goods from far-off lands, Momotoshi's quirky personality and the intimidating appearance of his assistant Ganjii make Miyo feel like Alice lost in Wonderland. Nevertheless, the two prove to be very encouraging, helping her navigate this unusual environment. As she adapts to her new duties, Miyo has no idea that descending into the rabbit hole not only opens an exciting new chapter in her life, but also leads to a miraculous world that is sure to change her destiny forever.
