“Momo Ayase is a somewhat private student. She lives with her “grandmother” who works as a medium and raised her with the belief that spirits and demons are not just figments of the imagination. One day she meets and helps Ken, a classmate school who is marginalized and bullied by his classmates because he is convinced of the existence of aliens. The two, who at first don’t believe they have much in common, challenge each other to prove the existence of their supernatural beliefs and, suddenly, find themselves involved in a war between factions of hidden creatures of planetary proportions! Will they be able to survive among demons, aliens and very unique schoolmates?!”
