He died after some random men bust into his umbrella shop and killed him right in front of his sister, Yui. Yushin only has seven days before his soul departs the mortal realm, and he must use these seven days to find his sister. He does so by possessing bodies of people and animals. It will have full English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), and Japanese support.
