Volume 1 - Turmoil of the Flesh: The stage for the story is the close of the Edo period, as the power of the Tokugawa Shogunate is beginning to crumble. In a time when darkness brings with it the fear of living monsters, an aspiring author, Momosuke Yamaoka, wanders the country with the hopes of one day unveiling his work "The 100 Stories" to the world. In his travels, he meets up with three minor scoundrels known as Mataichi the Tricker/Ongyo Master, Ogin the Puppeteer, and Nagamimi the Bird Caller. The task of this mysterious trio is to settle cases consigned to the darkness. They root out criminals and use various tricks to judge karmic debts. Their arrival is usually heralded by the sound of a mysterious bell and the words "In the name of the Ongyo?"
Volume 2 - Human Atrocity: Momosuke is forced to rest at a stranger's house after suffering from exhaustion. There he is given a remedy... or is it a poison? The group then meets up with a trickster spirit disguised as a samurai. But nothing will prepare the group for what they experience at Katabira Crossroads - the corpse of Ogin!
Volume 3 - Pain of the Damned: Momosuke visits his brother, only to find a murder mystery underway; a man has been killed in a rare manner. Ogin then faces her mother's killer, who has been dying and coming back to life over and over again, terrorizing the local townspeople. After they are confronted by a formidable spectre, the group is charged with finding a lost bride. But the situation is more complex than they first thought. and people are not who they seem!
Volume 4 - Eternal Rest: Momosuke, separated from the group, searches for the others when he is suddenly attacked by rebels. Ogin finds him and advises he return to Edo. When she heads in another direction, Momosuke follows her instead. Along the journey, Momosuke comes across a clan that has been cursed by spirits, causing horrible deaths. Mataichi just may have a trick up his sleeve to deal with the atrocities at the castle.
