Synopsis:

Rinne Rokudou lives a life intertwined with the spirit world, burdened by the duty of guiding departed souls. This responsibility creates constant financial strain, forcing him to navigate everyday life with limited resources. His already unusual existence becomes further complicated by Sakura Mamiya, a high school student uniquely aware of the spectral realm. When Rinne unexpectedly appears at school – visible only to her – Sakura’s perception of reality is challenged. The series explores the evolving relationship between these two individuals as Sakura unravels the mystery surrounding Rinne's true nature and glimpses into a world unseen by most. It blends slice-of-life elements with supernatural intrigue, examining themes of connection, perception, and the hidden layers beneath the ordinary.
