Paragraph from one of the chapters: Welcome to a realm where the tales of yokai, the enigmatic creatures of Japanese folklore, have long been confined to legends and stories of the past. Once believed to roam the world, their presence has faded into the realm of myth over time. However, whispers and eerie occurrences now hint at a potentially unsettling truth-the yokai may be poised for a resurgence.
