This is horror that knows the weight of tradition, where the spirits aren't monsters to defeat but obligations to understand.
SYNOPSIS
Two sisters move through Sendai's streets with a secret that separates them from their classmates. Shii carries the ability to perceive spirits invisible to others, while Mai possesses the power to exorcise them. Together, they form an incomplete but essential whole, each dependent on what the other can do. Their shared burden as exorcists from the Karura temple means the supernatural never truly leaves them alone. When malevolent spirits and vengeful entities begin haunting the city, the sisters answer the call their temple demands. What appears to be ordinary high school life masks a constant vigil against the unseen forces lurking in Sendai's shadows. The horror here runs deep through Japanese folklore and tradition, pulling from genuine cultural anxieties rather than shock value. Strange occurrences compound into genuinely unsettling situations where the line between the living world and the spiritual realm grows dangerously thin. This OVA follows their encounters with angry ghosts and dark presences, blending school life awkwardness with genuine dread. It's horror grounded in something older and stranger than Western conventions, where atmosphere matters more than jump scares.
