Synopsis
Newly dead Kazusa must choose between afterlife and lingering attachments, risking her soul and others' lives.
Kazusa Uemura's ordinary morning takes an extraordinary turn when she finds herself existing between life and death. As a newly formed spirit, she meets Kyuuji Sakai, a guide who explains the delicate nature of souls in transition—ghosts must navigate their lingering attachments carefully, lest they lose themselves to darker impulses. In this ethereal state, Kazusa discovers that the boundaries between the living and the dead are more permeable than she imagined. As she observes the world she left behind, she begins to understand that her unresolved feelings and unfulfilled desires carry a weight that could shape her eternal fate. Torn between the pull of the afterlife and the temptation to remain connected to the world of the living, Kazusa faces an impossible choice that will determine not just her own destiny, but potentially the lives of those she once knew. This supernatural drama explores themes of grief, acceptance, and the lingering power of human emotion beyond death itself.
While walking to school, Kazusa Uemura is hit by a car and killed on impact. Now a ghost overlooking her corpse, she is greeted by Kyuuji Sakai, who informs her that souls remain on Earth for a bit after death. During this time, ghosts have to be careful not to become onryou—vengeful, negative spirits that linger to torment the living. Soon after watching her funeral, Kazusa follows her crush Mitsuhara "Miharu" Torii, only to find out that he never liked her, instead having a crush on a girl named Ranko Okabe. Filled with envy, Kazusa screams at Miharu, trying to understand how he really felt about her. While doing this, Okabe seems to notice her, making Kazusa realize that she can be seen from the afterlife if she focuses her own negative emotions on her crush's crush. Stuck having to choose between moving on to the afterlife or becoming an onryou to haunt Okabe after her untimely death, Kazusa must decide how she wants to spend the rest of her eternity.
