The god of mist, Muichiro Tokito, has one fatal flaw other than his wilting memory-his fascination with the hardworking farmer, Genya Shinazugawa. Day after day, he watches Genya through the clouds, captivated by something he can't quite define. But his growing distraction comes with consequences: the mists fail to grace the land, and desperate prayers flood the temple of Giyu Tomioka, the god of water-who has nothing to do with the drought.
To silence the chaos and clear his own name, Giyu sends Muichiro on a mission: descend to the mortal world, fix the imbalance, and end the confusion. Yet, fate proves playful. For the first time, Muichiro stands face-to-face with the source of his obsession. But is it curiosity, or something far deeper, that has him tangled in this mortal's orbit?
