Keitaro Gentoga is a walking beacon for the dead, and all he wants is to finally step out of the shadows and live a life that doesn’t involve screaming in terror. After a traumatic spiritual incident left him a shut-in with a cursed hand, he’s finally trying to make things right by starting university and taking on a job as a private tutor. His hopes for a peaceful comeback are shattered the moment he meets his first student, Yayoi Hozuki, a tiny genius with eerie double-pupiled eyes and a collection of stuffed animals filled with nightmare fuel. Yayoi isn’t interested in textbooks; she’s on a ruthless hunt for the god-tier spirit that abducted her mother, and she needs Keitaro’s unique ability to lure out the most depraved urban legends in Japan. Together with his childhood friend Eiko, Keitaro is dragged into a high-stakes game of supernatural cage matches where they must capture vengeful ghosts to build an army strong enough to challenge a literal deity. This isn’t just a ghost hunt—it’s a descent into madness where Keitaro must face his deepest phobias to save the fractured remains of a grieving girl’s family.
