Yami Shibai Synopsis

The mysterious yellow masked narrator (storyteller) is a man whose real name and origin are unknown. He appears at dusk, where children gather and recite menacing stories based on Japanese urban legends that his young audiences rave about. However, the narrator is not just any narrator. It includes a kamishibai, a traditional paper scrolling device, to add pictures to your already insane storytelling.

Yami Shibai, a series of short horror stories, begins with a single man who immediately feels an evil look at him after moving into a new apartment. Just a talisman resting on his roof and the man has no idea that it is his last line of defense. Each story is more frightening, scary, and disgusting than the last as the narrator’s audience is drawn into the cruel world of his words.
