Hosuke Kumon - Psyche Diver The world's most talented Diver, Hosuke Kumon is regularly called upon to dive into the human subconscious. Once there, his powers can be used to repair damage or inflict untold damages. His greatest challenge, and the key to our future, is buried deep in the heart of the dark organization.

Baku Yumemakura is a master craftsman of fantastic worlds. The story revolves around the talents of Hosuke Kumon, a Psyche Diver with the ability to delve into the human mind. A bureaucratic organization known as the ‘Association’ regulates the activity of the Divers. But there are those that work outside its confines, taking on illicit contracts that cannot be requested through normal channels. Hosuke takes on such a contract and begins to reveal hidden pasts, powerful corporate secrets and terrifying conspiracies. As he is plunged into the Demon Hunters' universe, he faces up to a cast of memorable, charismatic characters like the bank-robber turned vengeful demon Fuminari Senkichi, the beautiful yet deadly Biku, and the ever-elusive Master Kurogosho. Lurking behind them all is the mysterious presence of Kukai, one of the central figures of Japanese Esoteric Buddhism.
