Telling the story of a world roaming with youkai yet invisible to the human eye and causing mischief where they can, “Youkai Watch” follows Keita in Sakura New Town. One day while out searching for bugs Keita stumbles across a strange capsule machine next to a scared tree. Upon opening one of the capsules he brings forth what is known as a Youkai Whisper and is introduced to the world of youkai and the adventures that come along with it.
