It is the year 1843, the fourteenth year of the Tenpo era in Japan. The shogunate is in financial crisis and the city of Edo where people are already plagued by famine, riots and raids, is under attack from demonic beasts called the Yōi.

A Yōi fighting group called Ayashi is assembled by a secret organization called Bansha Aratamesho to combat the beasts. Comprising a scholar of Western studies, a Shinto priest, a mountaineer, and a girl dressed as a boy - each with a special power or weapon - Ayashi is joined by Ryudo Yukiatsu, a masterless samurai with a legendary power to destroy the Yoi. Known as the ‘Ayagami’, a special art of revealing a Yoi’s name, Yukiatsu can understand the ancient and true meaning of the beasts’ names and is able to materialize weapons which can kill the beasts.

Join Ryudo and the Ayashi on their battles to free their people from terror in Ayakashi Ayashi only on Animax.
