Each episode is a locked-room mystery where the ghost is real but the answer always comes from somewhere else entirely. The show treats paranormal investigation like forensics: thermal cameras, EMF readers, infrared thermography, every piece of equipment has a job. Comedy undercuts the dread at exactly the right moments, so you're never drowning, just perpetually unsettled. The real hook is that half the hauntings have mundane explanations and half don't, and the show never tips its hand about which until the very end. If you need jump scares to feel scared, this isn't for you; if you want to actually solve something alongside people who take their work seriously, you'll finish all 25 episodes in a weekend.
Swapping ghost stories is a favorite pastime for Taniyama Mai and her friends, and much of the talk centers on an abandoned building on their campus. Then they meet Shibuya Kazuya, a 17-year-old who heads the Shibuya Psychic Research company and has been called in by the principal to look into the rumors. While poking around the old building, Mai breaks one of his cameras, and his assistant is hurt in the process. Kazuya makes her work for him to cover the damage and fill the empty assistant role. From there, Mai begins learning about the paranormal world and what ghost hunting really involves, in a series that mixes comedy, horror and supernatural mystery.
