Kegareboshi 1 Trailer - _top_

In Japanese spiritual traditions, kegare refers to a state of pollution, defilement, or spiritual impurity. Unlike a moral sin, it is often brought about by contact with death, disease, or intense negative human emotion. The series repurposes this concept into a visible, creeping corruption that isolates individuals, making them feel like "spotted stars" fading away from society. Character Focus: Ibuki Asaba
