Anime Hajime Review: Amatsuki


Series Synopsis


After failing his Japanese history test, Tokidoki "Toki" Rikugo (voiced by Jun Fukuyama) visits a high -tech virtual museum in order to complete his make-up work. This museum is unique because it's able to recreate the Edo period of Japan with the use of virtual reality goggles. However things don't go as expected.

Toki is suddenly attacked by a mythical creature known as a nue; a beast with the head of a monkey, the body of a raccoon, legs of a tiger, and a snake for a tail. He is saved from the creature by a young swordswoman named Kuchiha (voiced by Romi Paku), but not before losing the use of his right eye. To make matters worse, the virtual reality goggles are destroyed and instead of returning to reality, Toki remains stuck in nineteenth century Japan.

Forced to adapt to his new surroundings, Toki finds himself in the middle of an ancient conflict between humans and demons. As it turns out, he is not just an average bystander. It is reviled that he has the power to drastically alter the course of this fight.

Being one of the few humans able to see the demonic world, Toki learns that he possesses the power of the Blank Page; a being whose destiny has not been foretold by heaven. He must now choose whether to use his power to side with humans or with demons. To help him with this task are Kuchiha and his friend Kon Shinonome (voiced by Koji Yusa).
