What happens

Beyond Twilight (Japanese: 百鬼夜行抄, Hepburn: Hyakkiyakō Shō) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Ichiko Ima. It began serialization in Asahi Shimbun Publishing's shōjo manga magazine Nemuki in 1995. After the magazine's disbandment in December 2012, it was transferred to the Nemuki+ magazine in April 2013. A 9-episode television drama adaptation aired on Nippon TV and SDT from February to March 2007. It was also adapted into five drama CDs and two stage plays. A short-form "light anime" television series adaptation produced by Imagica Infos and Imageworks Studio aired from April to June 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
