Skyhigh Karma

Takamaru Mai has suffered since childhood from disturbing dreams filled with blood, snakes and a bottomless darkness. After a traffic accident leaves her with only minor physical injuries, an X-ray reveals something impossible: the shape of a hand gripping her skull. Mai begins to realize that the visions haunting her are tied to a spiritual burden she inherited before birth. As her mother Ayame and the people around her become caught in the same chain of suffering, Mai's path eventually leads toward Izuko, guardian of the Gate of Grudges, and the truth behind the ancestral soul whose karma has attached itself to her family.
