From Ambrosia Scans: With the completion of the human genome in 2014, Japan has gone all Gattaca (good movie, i.e. genetic engineering) and, in 2031, a boy gifted (or scientifically crafted) with a special touch repetitiously sees a strange dream before him.
The story is about a man who is a medicine seller. He hunts mononoke (demons) and kills them by using a sword. However, before unsheathing his sword he first needs to learn of the form (katachi), the truth behind the human tragedies (makoto) and the reason behind the evils (kotowari) that gave birth to it before killing the demon.

As Sakon's grandfather once said: "Controlling a puppet is reading the heart. You have to put yourself in the shoe of the one you want to portray." Uploading..
