Plot Summary

The story revolves around two high school students, Okarun (Ken Takakura) and Momoyo Ayase, who find themselves entangled in a world filled with supernatural phenomena, aliens, and ghosts. The manga begins with a seemingly simple bet between the two protagonists:

  • Okarun believes in ghosts but doesn’t believe in aliens.
  • Momoyo believes in aliens but doesn’t believe in ghosts.

To prove each other wrong, they decide to visit locations associated with these supernatural entities. However, their adventures take a dramatic turn when they encounter real supernatural forces, including a ghost who curses Okarun and aliens who kidnap Momoyo. From there, the story spirals into a chaotic and hilarious journey as the duo battles ghosts, aliens, and other bizarre creatures while trying to restore their normal lives
