Dark Gathering Synopsis
Keitarou Gentouga is a university student who hates ghosts. Unfortunately for him, he has a gift for attracting spirits. Two years ago, this connection led to him receiving a spiritual wound to his right hand, leaving his friend caught in the crossfire. The event made him withdraw into himself, leaving him with very few social skills. Fortunately, Keitarou is slowly starting to blend in with society, thanks to the help of his childhood friend, Eiko Houzuki.
As part of his rehabilitation, Keitarou accepts the part-time job of tutoring, and his first student is none other than Eiko's cousin, Yayoi Houzuki. In addition to being a child prodigy, there is another peculiarity about Yayoi: she has a spiritual constitution, just like Keitarou. Unlike Keitarou, however, she longs to meet spirits, hoping to find the ghost that took her mother from her. As Keitarou is dragged by Yayoi and Eiko to haunted places, his part-time job seems to drift further and further from his original purpose.
