A collection of stories featuring unorthodox archaeologist Hieda Reijirou and his encounters with the unknown. *Note: Two chapters were combined in the tankoubon edition.*
Hieda-sensei is a professor of archeology, with a fervent belief in the existence and power of supernatural creatures like gods and demons. Since he can't prove anything, his belief has earned him the mocking nickname "Youkai Hunter" from his colleagues. One day, two men from Ootori-chou come to visit him. They're planning to promote tourism by reviving their town's old, traditional "Demon Festival," which has been discontinued for the past century. They're basing the festival on Hieda's research, although they're changing a few details to make it flashier for modern sightseers. Although Hieda is troubled by the history of human death associated with the festival, he agrees to attend as an advisor. When the Demon Festival turns out to be much more 'historically accurate' than anyone ever dreamed, it will take all of Hieda's knowledge and courage to help set things right! (Source: MangaHelpers)
Saji Amahiko vowed never to play sports again. At the end of his middle school years, during the summer baseball state championship, he pitched 4 balls and walked the batter when the bases were loaded and lost the game for the entire team. Unable to recover from that trauma, when he entered high school, he promised himself to never compete in any sport that makes you face your opponents to determine a winner and loser. His teacher and also his cousin, Ms. Misato, forces Amahiko to join the archery team at school thinking that it might help overcome his fear of sports. Archery is a sport where, although you do compete against other players, the main opponent is yourself. If you are able to overcome the negativity inside you and win against yourself, you will be able to hit the target. Initially, Amahiko was unable to hit the target because of the demon inside him, but when he was able to face his mistakes and own up to it, he turned out to be an archer with a lot of potential. From that day on, he changed his vows to never lose against himself ever again. (Source: MangaHelpers)
