Rai (Kentaro Ito) keeps failing to find a proper job, instead taking on part time jobs. During one job he receives a pamphlet for the classic novel “The Tale of Genji.” On the way back home, he hears that his younger brother has passed his medical school entrance exams. Feeling like a failure, Rai decides to wander around instead of heading back home. Rai is sucked into a strange light and before he knows it he finds himself in the Heian period (the setting for The Tale of Genji). Rai introduces himself as Onmyoji Raimei Ito. Thanks to some medicine Rai has on him he is hired as an onmyoji by the emperor’s wife Nyogo Kokiden (Ayaka Miyoshi). Nyogo Kokiden plots to have her son (Taketo Tanaka) take the emperor’s position.
