Shiki

- Season 1

(2010)

Living in a small village, Megumi's two main interests are classmate Natsuno Yuuki and a European-style house on a hill. One day, when her fascination with the house leads her to climb the hill, she vanishes.

After Toru's attack, Natsuno warns Kaori and her brother to escape the village before they fall victim to the vampires as well.

The population of the village grows thin as the blood-sucking okiagari claim more victims, including Toshio?s wife. With no strength left in his body, Natsuno invites Toru in for a last feeding.

Kaori?s father suddenly collapses. At the clinic, Toshio studies his wife?s corpse for clues on how to combat the vampires.

The Shiki are bent on keeping the outside world in the dark about the deaths in Sotoba. When Toshio threatens to expose them, a member of the Kanemasa mansion pays him a visit.

No one in Sotoba - the village surrounded by death - is safe, as a frustrated Toshio fails to find a cure for the epidemic strangling his town. Convinced that Megumi has risen from the dead, Natsuno researches darker sources.

As Shiki continue to rid the village of the living, Seishin finally makes a move. On another late night at the clinic, Toshio gets a visitor.

Natsuno?s return from death grants him a visit from Tatsumi. Hoping to enjoy his last days amongst the living, Toshio takes the mistress of Kanemasa to the village?s yearly festival.

The villagers band together to free their town from the grips of the Shiki. Meanwhile, Tatsumi decides what to do with Seishin.

Toshio and Natsuno's suspicions were true. Okiagari - creatures of legend that were once human that feed on the lives of others - are now stalking Natsuno.

While Sotoba's villagers are debating the cause of the frequent deaths, the town shaman points her finger at the residents of Kanemasa mansion.
