About Dark Gathering

Looking for background on Dark Gathering (ダークギャザリング)? This adventure, horror and supernatural series by OLM (2023) starts out like this. In short: After a devastating encounter with a restless spirit, ghost-fearing psychic Keitarou Gentouga became a shut-in to avoid additional spectral catastrophes. But no man is a haunted island, and Keitarou eventually reintegrates with society by getting a part-time job as a tutor to the child prodigy Yayoi Houzuki.

More of the story: Yayoi isn’t just an academic genius, though. She’s a talented psychic medium hell-bent on finding the malevolent spirit behind her mother’s disappearance, and she’s gravely determined to drag Keitarou into her terrifying world of grotesque supernatural phenomenon.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Voice work is led by Yoshihiro Nakamura as Narrator and Yuu Sasahara as Yayoi Houzuki. It will appeal most to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. With 25 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
