Synopsis:

The narrative centers on ordinary individuals unexpectedly confronted with the extraordinary. Ushio’s life takes an abrupt turn when encountering a peculiar, violet entity that offers assistance, challenging his understanding of the world. Interwoven are vignettes focusing on everyday struggles – Tora's attempts to care for a vulnerable kitten – juxtaposed with escalating situations of pursuit and evasion. These seemingly disparate episodes coalesce into a larger unfolding mystery, bringing together a diverse cast of unusual beings. The series presents a contemplative atmosphere, exploring themes of coexistence, responsibility, and the blurring lines between reality and the fantastical, all within a setting where the mundane is perpetually disrupted by the strange and unexpected.
