Summary
When eighteen year old Keiko Yamada's father dies
unexpectedly, he leaves behind a one way ticket to Japan, an
unintelligible death poem about powerful Japanese spirits and
their gigantic, beast-like Guardians, and the cryptic words:
"Go to Japan in my place. Find the Gate. My camera will show
you the way."Alone and afraid, Keiko travels to Tokyo,
determined to fulfil her father's dying wish. There, beneath
glittering neon signs, her father's death poem comes to life.
Ancient spirits spring from the shadows. Chaos envelops the
city, and as Keiko flees its burning streets, her guide, the
beautiful Yui Akiko, makes a stunning confession – that
she, Yui, is one of a handful of spirits left behind to defend
the world against the most powerful among them: a once noble
spirit now insane. Keiko must decide if she will honour her
father's heritage and take her rightful place among the
gods.
