Tenpou Ibun: Ayakashi Ayashi
Feudal Japan is attacked by beasts called Youi.
Ryuudou Yukiatsu, a floater and an employee at a bath house has the power of Ayagami ("The power to find the words behind things") which can be used in fighting against the Youi.
That's why the members of a Youi-fighting group Bansha Aratamesho, called the Ayashi, are looking for Yukiatsu - they want him to become an Ayashi as well.
Yukiatsu runs into a woman and a son who are chased by a Youi and has to face the past he's been running away from.
