The story revolves around a mature prisoner who was released on good behavior. He is called Yotaro by others, a term that means an "anti-hero" or a "dim-witted man." When he returns to society, he starts a new life in music. Touched by Musho Yakumo's role as the "grim reaper," he asks the master to take him in as an apprentice.
