Kusunoki no Bannin

Reito is a young man who was unjustly fired from his job, and in retaliation, he committed a crime and was subsequently arrested. He tries to appeal to the investigator to no avail, and he is sent to the prosecutor's office, where he waits for his indictment. Suddenly, a lawyer appears and tells Reito that he can be released if he follows his client's order. Reito takes the gamble and accepts the condition, only to discover that the client is his late mother's half-sister, Chifune Yanagisawa. Chifune has only one order for Reito: to become the camphorwood tree custodian at Tsukigō shrine. Reito becomes the custodian of the camphorwood tree and meets different people who visit the temple grounds for various reasons. <em class=de-emphasized>(from manga)</em>
