Konoyo Ibun

In this Strange & Mystifying Story, the protagonist hails from a family plagued by premature deaths, rumored to be under a curse. Following his grandfather's recent passing, he falls gravely ill with a mysterious disease. Overcome by grief and isolation, he recalls his grandfather's final words about a guardian watching over them. In his despair, he discovers an unusual fossilized tooth where his grandfather had pointed. Upon picking it up and drawing blood, a guardian spirit emerges, promising to heal him. Despite his relief, the spirit's unconventional healing methods leave much to be desired. The story includes one-shots: Volume 1: Nylon Vinyl, Kami mo Hotoke mo Nai Mono ka; Volume 2: Ishi Kenbunroku.
