One day, high schooler Miko Yotsuya suddenly begins to "see" the ghastly apparitions writhing all around her. Even with a horrifying monster right in front of her, the only countermeasure she takes is one thing — relentlessly pretending she can't see them at all.
Desperately hiding her trembling heart, avoiding eye contact with the spirits, Miko fights to protect her everyday life. Her plucky, life-or-death "ignoring" produces spine-chilling fear and a chuckle of comedy at the very same time.
Airing from October 2021, produced by Passione. A talked-about work as a fresh horror-comedy where the tension of horror and the laid-back laughs of comedy coexist beautifully. 👀
