The Plot of The Dark Gathering Anime
The Dark Gathering universe is a foreboding environment full of psychic powers and restless ghosts, where the boundary between living and dead is blurred. Keitaro Gentoga, a once-confident psychic, withdraws into a secluded life, fearful of additional spectral contacts after a terrifying experience with a vengeful spirit.
Keitaro, haunted by his past, lives as a shut-in to shield himself from the horrors lurking in the shadows. However, fate has other ideas for him. Yayoi Houzuki, an amazing child prodigy with remarkable potential, offers him part-time teaching employment due to an unanticipated turn of events.
Her mother’s unexplained disappearance fuels Yayoi’s determination to uncover the truth behind the malevolent spirit that was responsible for her mother’s disappearance. Unimaginably, Keitaro will be thrown back into a world he thought he had left behind for good when he encounters Yayoi.
As Keitaro goes more into Yayoi’s world, he realizes the scope of her talents and the danger hiding within the supernatural realm, which leads him to unwillingly accept the post. He is intrigued by Yayoi’s unshakeable resolve and the opportunity to tackle his concerns.
Together, they set out on a dangerous journey to solve the mystery of her mother’s disappearance. Along the way, they run against evil ghosts who put their fortitude to the test. As their link grows stronger, they come to understand that their shared destiny contains the secret to defeating the ancient evil that not only poses a threat to Yayoi’s family but also to the harmony between the living and the dead.
