Story Introduction:

The “!” sign that should not be seen—

It is the trace of a supernatural occurrence.

Aspiring novelist Sumireko Ogawa works as a book clerk in a certain town and spends her days engaging in futile talk with her colleague, Ren Adashino.

However, Adashino keeps a mysterious secret from Sumireko.

Folktales, ghost stories, urban legends and modern-day mysteries –

some are rooted in truth and actually exist in this world.

One day, triggered by the sudden appearances of a “Reverse Shoplifting Book” in the bookstore, the two of them start encountering a series of mysterious occurrences around the city.

This is the story of the uncomplicated friendship and farewell of this odd duo that take on the mysteries that haunt our modern society.
