Publisher's Synopsis
Ordinary, everyday shopkeeper Horiuchi Tsurue is running a little general store and mini-café on a small island in Japan's inland sea, two centuries after mankind was nearly wiped out by a virus.
One day, Yamaguchi Yukiko, the kamaitachi of legend (The Cross-Time Kamaitachi), and her daughter Mikoko, appear in front of Tsurue's shop, and she invites them in for tea. That's when Tsurue discovers she is anything but ordinary. And in the end, the island she is sworn to protect will depend upon it.
