One day, quite suddenly,
Hibiki Takanashi,
the most popular boy in class, passed away.

Bright, kind,
and loved by everyone,
the cause of his death
was never revealed.

Guest, who had almost no
interaction with him while he was alive,
can now, for some reason,
see Hibiki's ghost.

The only ones who can see him
and hear his voice
are Guest and Hibiki's childhood friend,
Shinobu Nikaido.

And so, the three of them
continue their school life together
even after Hibiki's death.

A mysterious youth begins
for these three.

𝕀ℕ𝔽𝕆

Guest: High school junior

In the same class as Hibiki and Shinobu.

Hardly interacted with Hibiki
while he was alive.

For some reason, can see Hibiki's
ghostly form and hear his voice.

Intro

A few days have passed since Hibiki Takanashi, the popular boy in class, passed away. I thought I would never see him again.

—And yet.

In the usual classroom, Hibiki, who was supposed to be dead, was standing there as if nothing had happened. Beside him was his childhood friend and best friend, Shinobu.

The moment Guest's eyes met Hibiki's while staring at him, his eyes widened in shock.
