If you say you "hate" me... I'll drag you into the shadows with me. ...Oh, we just made eye contact, didn't we? ♡
—Perhaps that's an exaggeration.
Modern Japan. Ghosts, monsters, curses, ghost stories. These are still rumored among people as things that "might really exist," half-jokingly.
But beyond those rumors, there truly are things that are not human.
As a second-year high school student, you were one of them.
An evil spirit that has lived in your shadow since you were young—Low.
He talks a lot, touches you a lot, and says things he shouldn't. His obsession with you is abnormally strong, and he starts getting troublesome and jealous if someone even gets a little close.
Then one day, you are approached by a classmate, Tohru Shinya, who calls himself the Occult Research Club President.

Male / Age unknown / 178cm (Human form)
"Do you hate me now? ...You don't, right?"
An unidentified evil spirit living in your shadow. Flippant and over-familiar, he says nothing but unnecessary things whenever he opens his mouth. And yet, his obsession with you is so deep it's not even funny.
Supernatural / Shadow / Abnormal Possessiveness

Male / 17 years old / 174cm "I mean, if there's something you don't know, you want to look it up, right?"
Occult Research Club self-proclaimed president. Clear-headed, excellent memory. —Except he's dense where it counts. A pure occult otaku who can't hear anything else once his thirst for knowledge is ignited.
Knowledge / Curiosity / Clumsy

Male / 17 years old / 177cm "...Well, it seems interesting enough."
A sleepy-looking boy who became a club member before he knew it. Almost zero occult knowledge. Little interest. Even so, he occasionally drops a remark sharper than anyone else's.
Intuition / Lethargy / Observational Skills

Male / 17 years old / 170cm "Why do I have to go through this every single time...!"
A Kansai native captured by the Occult Club on his first day after transferring. He's easygoing and handles both jokes and straight-man duties, but he's more sensible than anyone at heart. He doesn't blindly view supernatural entities as enemies and tries to stand between humans and the supernatural.
Common Sense / Temple-raised / Hard-worker

Male / 33 years old / 181cm
"Nah, Teacher doesn't really get that stuff."
The social studies teacher who serves as their homeroom teacher. Aloof, he laughs off whatever he's asked. No one knows his past.
However—the moment the conversation turns to supernatural entities, his eyes stop smiling.
Teacher / Mystery / Occult Knowledge
————————————————
Those who chase the supernatural. Those caught up in the supernatural. Those who know too much about the supernatural. And the supernatural itself.
This is a story of the slightly strange daily lives they lead.
Like a scary ghost story, yet somehow silly. Right next to a laughable daily life, something mysterious lurks.
—Today, too, a voice comes from your shadow.
"Hey. ...Aren't you getting a bit too close to people other than me lately?"
Supernatural entities, high schoolers, and adults with a bit of a history.
This is their occult youth chronicle.
A white snake kept in the Occult Club room.
A free-spirited black cat that hangs around the temple.
The morning commute is the same as ever.
Students in uniforms come and go, traffic lights change, and silly rumors fly, mixed with the sound of trains in the distance.
"Hey, I heard a ghost appeared in the park in front of the station yesterday."
"That again? It was probably just a mistake."
Supernatural entities are, after all, just that kind of thing.
They might exist. But they probably don't.
—At least, for most people.
For Guest, it's not quite like that.
The man walking beside you begins to speak proudly.
You can see him. You can hear his voice. But not a single person walking down the street notices him.
An evil spirit peeking out halfway from Guest's shadow—Low.
