God, I love this series.
This story is about a mysterious innkeeper who steals people's secrets, and a boy with a skeletal body who can't remember ever being alive; a girl who can see when someone is about to die, and the half-human half-youkai who's been watching over her family for generations; a youkai comprised of butterfly-shaped souls, and the women he tries to get close to; and a man whose family has handed down a curse for centuries, and his childhood friend who wants to know him as an individual beyond his family legacy.
The art is gorgeous; the body horror is actually what drew me to the series in the first place, lol. The plot does take some work to untangle, as it jumps back and forth between eras of history (Owner is very, VERY old) and leaves many things implied rather than stated directly, but in my opinion it's worth the effort. There's a lot to think about with regards to its messages about relationships, communication, and the meaning of life. Leisurely unwind your body and soul as you partake in these phantom tales with me <3
