Synopsis
Failed student Tamamori works at a used bookstore while investigating strange mysteries in Jinbochou.
Tamamori came to Tokyo with his sights set on getting accepted to the Imperial University. However, he doesn't pass the entrance exam, and is so undisciplined and wrapped up in endless fantasies that he's kicked out of his boarding house after only two years. Through a stroke of luck, Tamamori begins to live and work at Umebachidou, a used book store. There, he enjoys whiling away his time as a "student preparing for entrance exams" and taking advantage of friends who are also from his hometown. But as strange occurrences begin to unfold in Jinbochou, Tamamori finds himself drawn into a mysterious situation that challenges his perception of reality itself. (Source: MangaGamer)
