Synopsis
Transfer student Yuuma's constant apologies hide a dark supernatural secret that ensnares classmate Keiko in escalating horror.
Yuuma Azawa is a transfer student with an unusual quirk—he apologizes constantly, even when no apology is needed. His new classmate Keiko Arisu takes notice and tries to help him break the habit, but Yuuma's excessive politeness only seems to intensify. As Keiko spends more time with Yuuma and his peculiar younger sister Chizumi, she begins to sense something deeply unsettling about the siblings. Strange occurrences start happening around them, and Keiko finds herself drawn into a world where apologies might carry far more weight than mere words. The atmosphere grows increasingly ominous as she realizes that Yuuma's constant remorse may be connected to something far darker than simple social anxiety. This psychological horror story explores themes of guilt, supernatural influence, and the terrifying power that words can wield when spoken with the wrong intentions. Included one-shots: Saikai, Daichi no Ko
Yuuma Azawa is a transfer student with an odd habit: he cannot stop apologizing. Taking pity on him, Keiko Arisu, his new classmate, insists he should stop, but all Yuuma responds with is a string of apologies. The bizarre encounters continue when Keiko notices a strange girl following her, eerily proclaiming that she wants to suck her brains out. Running in fear, Keiko jumps in a truck's way and ends up hospitalized. Yuuma pays Keiko a visit in the hospital and confesses that the girl she met is his younger sister, Chizumi. Befriending Chizumi, Keiko discovers Yuuma's dark past: he once summoned the devil and became obsessed, profusely apologizing as a form of a wicked offering. Still freaked out, Keiko returns to school; however, everyone’s brains terrifyingly melt out of their skulls—and according to Chizumi, it is Yuuma's apologies that caused it. Keiko manages to escape before meeting the same fate, but miseries and misfortune that would befall those around the demonic siblings seem like just the beginning.
