Synopsis:

The quiet town of Kagerou holds a secret within its old schoolhouse – a lingering presence of restless spirits. Satsuki and Keiichirou Miyanoshita, siblings seeking solace after a personal tragedy, relocate to this town and unexpectedly find themselves facing a reality beyond the mundane. The school's history is steeped in tales of banished ghosts, who now harbor resentment and seek retribution.

As the siblings navigate their new environment, they encounter spectral entities tied to the school’s past, forcing them to confront not only supernatural threats but also their own grief. Forming unlikely alliances with fellow students, they must unravel the mysteries surrounding the haunting while attempting to safeguard themselves from vengeful spirits. The series explores themes of loss, memory, and the enduring power of the past within a subtly unsettling atmosphere.
