Shiki

Life in the small town of Sotoba is quiet and uneventful, a place where everyone knows each other. But things take a grim turn when Megumi Shimizu, a bright young girl with big dreams, dies suddenly from a mysterious illness. As more unexplained deaths occur throughout the sweltering summer, the town's doctor, Toshio Ozaki, starts to believe something far darker than a simple sickness is at work. Toshio joins forces with Natsuno Yuuki, a detached and distant teenager, as well as Kaori and Akira Tanaka, Megumi's grieving friends, to uncover the truth behind the deaths plaguing Sotoba. Together, their search leads them to a chilling secret connected to the newcomers living in the Kanemasa mansion.
