Keitaro Gentoga the protagonist of the haunting series also known as *Dāku Gyazaringu* just wants a normal life, but his supernatural magnet for spirits makes every day a living nightmare. After spending two years as a shut-in following a traumatic spiritual encounter that left him and his childhood friend Eiko cursed, he finally decides to rejoin society by taking a job as a private tutor. However, his path to normalcy is shattered when he meets his first student, the eccentric child prodigy Yayoi Hozuki. This pint-sized genius isn't looking for academic help; she is a relentless ghost hunter who recognizes Keitaro’s unique ability to attract the paranormal as the ultimate bait for the malevolent entities she seeks to harvest.

Their uneasy alliance plunges Keitaro into a terrifying world of vengeful spirits and ancient horrors, forcing him to confront the very shadows he spent years fleeing. While he struggles to overcome his paralyzing fear and the internal trauma of his past, Yayoi is driven by a singular, chilling purpose: to reclaim her mother’s soul from the clutches of a powerful and malevolent "God." Together, they must navigate a landscape of urban legends and high-stakes supernatural battles, capturing and "gathering" spirits of immense power to serve as their own macabre army. Amidst the blood-chilling encounters and the constant threat of spiritual possession, Keitaro’s quest for a peaceful life transforms into a desperate, high-octane mission to break his curse and find the strength to stand against the ultimate darkness.
