Mikado bumps into a man named Hiyakawa who is an exorcist. Hiyakawa feels it is fate that they have met each other. Based on a manga of the same name from creator Yamashita Tomoko, the anime shows how Mikado and Hiyakawa join forces to solve supernatural cases.

The official promo trailer of "The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window" opens with Mikado seeing a spirit inside the bookstore. The next shot introduces Hiyakawa who is meeting Mikado for the first time.

Hiyakawa feels meeting someone with this uncanny quirk is not chance but fate. This unusual pair is set to solve some creepy cases.
