In the dark corners of the world lives a kind of yokai that feeds on dreams, and Kurau is one of them.
These strange beings of the yokai realm had never known the flavor of having a dream of their own—until one day, Kurau happened to hear what humans call “singing.” That sound, like beautiful mountains and rivers, like the vast, magnificent ocean, awakened a longing that had lain dormant deep in Kurau’s heart.
He had never imagined that even in the heart of a dream-eating yokai, the seed of a dream could take root. From that moment on, Kurau firmly believed that everyone’s dreams are precious treasures worthy of respect. He resolved never to devour anyone’s dream, and to hold fast to this pure and noble conviction.
But because he never completed the coming-of-age rite of devouring a dream, Kurau became the shame of his clan and was shunned by his own kind. And so, without a moment’s hesitation, he set out on a journey in pursuit of his dream, leaving his homeland behind to immerse himself in the human world. Along the way, he will also be searching for the true meaning of his existence…
Among the dreams of billions of humans, as vast and dazzling as the stars, is there a place where he belongs?
More to come. Stay tuned.
