Synopsis

Washed-up director Imari joins Count Alucard to orchestrate bizarre incidents and restore mystery to a world lost in realism, aided by shapeshifting actress I.L.

After the first moon landing, many people's tolerance for fantasy faded in favor of gritty realism. Nobody has been more keenly aware of this shift than Imari Daisuke, once a celebrated film director now shelved for being too avant-garde. When a strange fortune teller tells him to visit a lavish home, promising that he can live there, Imari obliges but is met by the enigmatic Count Alucard. The Count has a mission for Imari: become a director of life and utilize his unique skillset to cause bizarre incidents, allowing the spirit of mystery to return to Earth. To this end, he is provided with I.L, a perfect actress who can completely change her appearance by entering a magic coffin. Together, the duo takes on clients in need of a body double—though they often end up providing services that do not exactly meet the client's expectations.
