Since childhood, Bak-ha has been able to see "things" that others can't. On the first day at his new school, Bak-ha meets Jindo, and due to the sickeningly sweet smell Bak-ha has, Jindo notices he is different, just like himself. As they get closer, Bak-ha finds out that he was the moonchild, the mythical creature who ruled the spirits in the past, and realizes that this is why the ghosts and demons are after him.
In Japanese mythology an inugami is a type of shikigami, similar to a familiar spirit, resembling, and usually originating from, a dog, and most commonly carrying out vengeance or acting as guardians on behalf of the inugami-mochi, or "inugami owner". Inugami are extremely powerful and capable of existing independently, as well as turning on their "owners" and even possessing humans.

A journey to exorcise all demons told with paintings... It's like remake of Journey to the West.
"The Exorcism Chronicles" is based on "Journey to the West" but takes a different approach, portraying Jiang Liu'er and his three disciples as exorcists rather than seekers of scriptures. The author's interpretation of "Journey to the West" can be seen as advocating justice, championing small acts of kindness, fearlessly opposing authority, and embracing freedom. Along the way, the four disciples unite in their shared goals, combating demons and monsters such as the White Bone Demon, Sea Monster, Nine-Headed Worm, and others, all in the name of justice and protection rather than enduring the trials necessary for obtaining scriptures. Simultaneously, the series responds to the significance of scripture seekers and exorcists, suggesting that achieving ultimate enlightenment is vast and boundless, while attaining smaller victories is tangible and grounded. Jiang Liu'er and his disciples choose the latter path, with Jiang Liu'er often remarking to the Buddha, "I'm just a freelance monk," signifying their divergence in paths.
