Tokidoki is a Japanese high school student who, when he fails his history class, is sent to a high-tech history museum that virtually recreates the Edo period to do make-up work. However, what was supposed to be a simple school project becomes much more complicated when he's attacked by two supernatural beings known as "the nue" and "the yakou" and loses the vision in his left eye. After he's saved from the nue by a girl named Kuchiha, he realizes that he's no longer wearing the simulation goggles, and is trapped in the virtual Edo.

Where it came from
Amatsuki was adapted into a thirteen-episode television anime series by Studio DEEN in 2008, based on the ongoing manga series by Shinobu Takayama. The story follows a high school student named Tokidoki Rikugou who, while visiting a high-tech history museum, is transported into a virtual-reality simulation of the Edo period. The production aimed to blend historical settings with supernatural folklore, a common thematic interest for the studio during that era.
The series was directed by Kazuya Furuhashi, known for his work on Rurouni Kenshin, with character designs handled by Junko Yamanaka. The aesthetic intent was to balance the grounded visual elements of historical Japan with ethereal, dreamlike sequences intended to signify the glitches and anomalies of the virtual world. Upon its release, the series was received as a niche entry in the fantasy genre, praised for its unique concept and atmospheric art direction, though it is often remembered as a cult title rather than a mainstream breakout.
