Dark Gathering
In 2023, an anime adaptation of Kenichi Kondo’s manga Dark Gathering will premiere. The year 2019 marks its initial release.
Keitaro, the manga’s main character, has a knack for luring ghosts wherever he goes. Because of all the tragic events occurring in his vicinity, he has begun to withdraw from society.
Just as he’s starting to feel comfortable in his own skin, he meets Yayoi, a ghost-hunting spirit. Keitaro ends up helping her out on her excursions against his will.
