Synopsis:

In a quiet, unassuming town, the ordinary life of a young man named Ken is irrevocably disrupted by an unexpected arrival. Emerging from his closet is not a burglar or a ghost, but a colossal, gentle creature reminiscent of a childhood fear given physical form. This unusual being chooses to accompany Ken, forcing him to navigate a world that struggles to understand its presence. The series explores themes of companionship and acceptance through the lens of the fantastical. It depicts the everyday challenges of integrating something extraordinary into an ordinary existence, examining the bonds formed between two individuals from vastly different worlds. Expect a story grounded in character interaction and subtle emotional shifts, rather than high-stakes action, as Ken learns to coexist with his unconventional companion and protect them both from a wary society.
