ハイガクラ

Haigakura is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Shinobu Takayama. It was initially serialized in Ichijinsha's shōjo manga magazine Comic Zero Sum WARD from January 2008 to May 2015, when the magazine ceased publication. It was later transferred to the Zero-Sum Online website in September 2015. The story is set in a world supported by four gods known as the Four Evils, which falls into crisis after two of them escape. In order to recover the gods, who have fled to other realms, and restore stability to the world, song officers known as Kashikan use 'songs' and 'dances' to confine the gods in their 'sai'. One of the Kashikan, Ichiyo, who was considered a dropout because of his tone-deafness, travels to modern-day Japan to recover the evil gods and return to his ordinary life with help from the subordinate god Tenkō. The manga has been collected into 17 tankōbon volumes and an anime television series adaptation produced by Typhoon Graphics premiered in October 2024.
