Last Puppet Master Kyou battles Dark Demons with Light Spirits to restart time and uncover his past.
Kyou is the last of the Puppet Masters, those with the power to defeat the Dark Demons that feed on negative emotions.

As he journeys across the land, he must confront not only the creatures that plague humanity but also the mysteries surrounding his past and the legacy of his people. (Source: Storm in Heaven)
