Story Synopsis
The story unfolds in the 1910s and follows Kodo Iwamoto, a third-year student at the military middle school Seihō, which operates under military control and focuses on gathering and researching supernatural phenomena for military use. Kodo is ordered to travel the country investigating various mysteries in towns where “black snow” has been reported to fall. During his journey, he encounters a young boy who believes his own extraordinary power is a curse — and Kodo teaches him to control it, giving him a letter of recommendation to enroll at Seihō. Kodo’s travels continue, bringing him face to face with many more supernatural events that lie ahead.
