When high school student Mei Ayazuki mysteriously finds herself transported through a strange box on the night of a crimson full moon, she wakes up in the heart of Meiji-era Tokyo — a world vastly different from everything she has ever known. Bewildered and out of place, she is brought to the Rokumeikan, an extravagant ballroom where the era's most influential figures gather. This historical world holds a hidden layer: during the twilight period between dusk and dawn, known as the "Misty Hour," supernatural creatures called "mononoke" roam freely. Those with the rare gift to perceive them are known as "Tamayori" — and Mei carries this very power within her. As she struggles to find her footing in an unfamiliar era, she begins to forge unexpected connections with the remarkable men around her, with her Tamayori ability weaving itself into the heart of these growing bonds.
