Shiki

Life in the quiet village of Sotoba moves at an easy, familiar pace—until Megumi Shimizu, a young girl with big dreams, dies suddenly from an unexplained illness. As the sweltering summer drags on, more residents begin to pass away under similarly mysterious circumstances, and the growing pattern feels increasingly unnatural.

Doctor Toshio Ozaki, convinced there’s more at work than a simple outbreak, starts searching for answers alongside the detached teenager Natsuno Yuuki and Megumi’s friends, Kaori and Akira Tanaka. Their investigation gradually points toward a chilling truth connected to the reclusive newcomers living in the Kanemasa mansion.
