The premise

In a world separate from the humans is a place called Chou Shinkai. In this world lives super beings called Hikaribito. However, among such people are those who commit crimes. Such people are known as Kageribito. The ruler of Chou Shinkai is the Shinkai King. There are monsters in Chou Shinkai called Magii. When Magii appear in the human world, they can be seen by people with strong spiritual senses. Since ancient times, Magii have been called mononoke or youkai. Hikaribito Gou and Navi travel across Chou Shinkai in their ship, the Bunba, to deliver the Kageribito to the land of exile. But when the transport mission goes wrong, Gou must gather a team of five brave people before the 1000 soldiers arrive in 100 days.

Horror Vault's take

From a hidden dimension beyond human perception, powerful beings called Hikaribito police their own criminal class — but when a mission goes sideways, a lone warrior named Gou must race against the clock to assemble a team capable of facing an overwhelming supernatural threat. The monsters seeping into the human world have been mistaken for folklore creatures throughout history, blurring the line between ancient myth and cosmic reality. This Japanese tokusatsu series blends high-energy martial arts action with slapstick comedy and a sprawling interdimensional mythology. Fans of super-sentai style heroics with a supernatural twist will find plenty to enjoy across its monster-of-the-week format.
