Description
A nameless protagonist who is six times more susceptible to spiritual phenomena than an ordinary person finds his life turned upside down when he encounters Mechako, the eccentric leader of the Kaikigumi. This secret organization is responsible for managing and policing the ghosts, monsters, and other supernatural creatures that threaten human beings. Despite his overwhelming cowardice, he gets roped into helping the group re-establish itself, setting off a string of bizarre, humorous, and only mildly terrifying incidents around him.

The story is set in a contemporary city where strange occurrences are more common than people realize, largely kept in check by the Kaikigumi's unseen efforts. The manga, which was serialized on the Omocoro web service from July 2018 to July 2024, blends absurd comedy with light horror elements. The protagonist is joined by a cast of colorful characters, including the organization's leader Mechako, voiced by Ruriko Aoki, and other members such as Shurako and a character named Doppelganger. The series is structured around their chaotic adventures as they deal with various spiritual phenomena, often resulting in comedic situations where the scares are underwhelming and the administrative side of ghost-hunting takes center stage. One notable aspect of the narrative is its empathetic approach to the spirits, with the ending theme of the subsequent anime adaptation written from the perspective of the fading ghosts being exorcised, highlighting a warmth in how the main characters handle their duties.
