This story takes place before the exorcist Kyogokudo opened his used bookstore…
The setting is Tokyo in 1948, right after the war.
Kanna Kusakabe, now a second-year high school student, meets the new language teacher, Akihiko Chuzenji.
Strange, supernatural events keep occurring around Kanna. Once again today, she opens the door to the library preparation room, seeking help from the gruff Chuzenji-sensei who waits inside.
Aki Shimizu began drawing the manga in October 2019, and it was serialized in Kodansha’s Shonen Magazine Edge.
