The premise

Yūko Ichihara is the sexy owner of a strange store which offers to make any wishes come true for a price. Kimihiro Watanuki has a special type of blood that attracts spirits and ghosts. He goes into the shop owned by Yūko Ichihara and asks her to get rid of the spirits. Yūko offers to do so if he works part-time at the store.

Horror Vault's take

A young man cursed with blood that draws spirits and ghosts to him stumbles into a peculiar shop run by an enigmatic witch who deals in wishes — for a price. To rid himself of his unwanted spiritual magnetism, he strikes a bargain that binds him to her service. Each client who crosses the shop's threshold brings a new tale of longing, desperation, or hubris, revealing how dangerous a simple wish can truly be. This Japanese live-action adaptation weaves drama, mystery, and the uncanny into an anthology-flavored series rooted in karmic consequence.
