Entering university offers students a fresh slate, but first-year undergraduate Mokume enrolls with one hyper-specific obsession: verifying real-world paranormal anomalies. Her academic journey shifts into high gear upon tracking down Kugutsu, an elusive upperclassman notorious on campus for an involuntary curse. Unlike regular occult hobbyists who search in vain for unconfirmed rumors, Kugutsu acts as a human lightning rod for supernatural incidents, drawing malevolent spirits, urban specters, and mythological entities straight into his immediate orbit.

Eager to observe anomalous phenomena up close, Mokume attaches herself to Kugutsu and integrates into the university occult research circle. What should be terrifying encounters with notorious apparitions—from Kuchisake-onna and phantom hitchhikers to cursed games and nocturnal cryptids—descend into surreal, deadpan comedic misadventures. Rather than fighting monsters with martial combat or grand sorcery, the group navigates escalating ghost hazards through absurd social negotiations, ritual trial-and-error, and Kugutsu's sheer exhaustion with the supernatural world. The main serialization concluded with Chapter 35 (collected in 4 Volumes). GalaxyManga hosts 45 chapter entries, including bonus chapters, specials, and side material.

What to Expect

The series balances eerie Japanese urban mythology with sharp slice-of-life comedic timing. Instead of standard shounen battle escalation, narrative arcs revolve around individual entity investigations, campus rumors, and the interpersonal friction within the occult club. Tension stems from genuine horror iconography being systematically diffused by offbeat humor, clever folklore subversions, and practical problem-solving rather than brute combat power systems.

Who Will Enjoy This

Best suited to readers who appreciate modern occult comedies featuring adult or college-aged casts, episodic ghost encounters, and deadpan paranormal satires. Fans who enjoyed the supernatural urban investigations of Dandadan will find a kindred appreciation for fast-paced folklore entities, while readers fascinated by modern metropolitan spirit territories found in Rebirth Of The Urban Immortal Cultivator will appreciate the distinctive Japanese ghost-club dynamics executed here through grounded comedy.
