Synopsis:

*Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai* presents a collection of episodic stories centered around renowned manga artist Rohan Kishibe, as he journeys to various locations in search of inspiration. These narratives explore unusual occurrences and psychological phenomena, often triggered by specific places or individuals.

The anime follows Kishibe's interactions with editors, residents of secluded villages, and those entangled in peculiar circumstances – from a haunted church confessional in Venice to a competitive rivalry born in a gym. Each story delves into themes of obsession, morality, and the hidden stories embedded within everyday settings.

Rather than grand narratives, *Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai* offers a series of self-contained tales that explore the uncanny aspects of human nature and the potential for the extraordinary to exist within the ordinary. The atmosphere is often unsettling and thought-provoking, inviting viewers to consider the narratives concealed beneath the surface of reality.
