SuBLime is releasing the manga digitally, and it describes the story:
Shy bookstore clerk Kosuke Mikado has the ability to see ghosts and spirits, an ability he wishes he didn t have, since what he sees usually terrifies him. Rihito Hiyakawa, an exorcist whose supernatural powers are as strong as his social graces are weak, doesn t seem to fear anything, mortal or otherwise. When this odd couple gets together to solve the bizarre cases that come their way, their work methods may not be entirely safe for work!

The story that unfolds, though, is one of ghosts and deadly curses that recalls the “Death Note” series, which merged horror and fantasy to massively popular effect. Yukihiro Morigaki, an in-demand director for commercials and music videos with one previous feature credit, delivers stylish, skin-crawling atmospherics with quick cuts that make bloody mayhem look like a fashion ad.
His focus, though, is less shocks than the drama of coming to terms with a troubled past and defeating one’s inner demons. As such, the film works better than might be expected from the opening scenes, which promise a mix of homoeroticism and horror.
