Headlining the anime are Yū Sasahara as Yayoi Hо̄zuki, Nobunaga Shimazaki as Keitarо̄ Gentо̄ga, Kana Hanazawa as Eiko Hо̄zuki, and Rina Kawaguchi as Ai Kamiyo.
Guiding the anime’s direction is Hiroshi Ikehata (known for FLCL Progressive, Kiratto Pri☆Chan, Space Battleship Tiramisu) at OLM. Shigeru Murakoshi (recognized for works like I’m Quitting Heroing and Zombie Land Saga) oversees the series scripts, while Shin’ya Segawa (noted for projects such as Pastel Memories and Garakowa -Restore the World-) serves as the character designer.
The musical composition responsibilities are shared among Kohta Yamamoto, Shun Narita, and Yūsuke Seo. Other key contributors encompass Taijirō Nagata as art director, Yuho Ando as director of photography, Takahiro Uezono as 3D director, Ritsuko Utagawa as color designer, and Kōhei Yoshida as sound director.
Setting the tone for the series is the opening theme song “Kakuriyo” (Afterlife) performed by luz.
The manga’s narrative orbits around Keitarō Gentōga, endowed with the capacity to channel spirits. His past involvement in a spirit possession incident during junior high school led to a prolonged period of isolation exceeding two years. Reemerging in society as a private tutor, he crosses paths with a prodigious girl named Yayoi Hōzuki. Yayoi promptly recognizes Keitarō’s aptitude as a spirit medium, prompting her to invite him on an expedition to a haunted site. This initiates their joint quest to capture malevolent spirits.
