Requiem from the Darkness - S01

Struggling writer Momosuke Yamaoka travels through Edo-period Japan, hoping to revive his failing career by collecting one hundred ghost stories. While wandering deep into the mountains, he meets a monk named Mataichi, who warns him to turn back. Ignoring the advice, Momosuke presses on and soon sees Mataichi and his two companions commit a murder. He learns that the trio investigates supernatural events-punishing the guilty with death. Despite the danger, Momosuke keeps searching for stories and keeps crossing paths with the outlaws, getting pulled deeper into their dark work each time. As he edges closer to their world, he wrestles with the morality of their deeds and the blurred boundary between humans and the supernatural.
