Shichinin no Ayakashi [Limited Edition]

[Machine Translation] The "Ayakashi" are the spirits that bring life into the world. In a world where yokai and humans coexist, a mysterious malice is creeping into the world... A story of loss and courage by seven yokai (ayakashi). In the variety show "Voice Actor Boys Are...? This is a dark fantasy created from scratch based on the original yokai characters invented by the seven voice actors who appeared on the variety show "Voice Actor Boys, But..." six years after its broadcast. In this work, the seven voice actors not only play the roles of the yokai, but also actively participate in the creation of the story and character details. --A continent. A world where yokai and humans live together. They live peacefully side by side, hiding from each other, in awe of each other, but at other times in close proximity. On such a continent, seven yokai, unaware of each other's existence, lead their own lives. Enjoying their "mundane, happy days" that flowed by as a matter of course, they never doubted that their daily lives would continue in the future. However, one day, that routine begins to crumble. Mysterious "malice" appears here and there across the continent. Sometimes in human form, sometimes as shadows. It has no real form, and it steals away what is important to people and ghosts alike. Some lose their friends, some their homeland, some their dignity.... What are the choices made by the seven yokai who have lost their precious things due to "malice" amidst the drastic changes in the world? The jacket illustration is newly illustrated.
