Momo Ayase and Okarun are on opposite sides of the paranormal spectrum regarding what they’ll believe in and what they won’t. Their quest to prove each other wrong leads them down a path of secret crushes and paranormal battles they’ll have to participate in to believe! Momo Ayase strikes up an unusual friendship with her school’s UFO fanatic, whom she nicknames “Okarun” because he has a name that is not to be said aloud. While Momo believes in spirits, she thinks aliens are nothing but nonsense. Her new friend, meanwhile, thinks the exact opposite. To settle matters, the two set out to prove each other wrong—Momo to a UFO hotspot and Okarun to a haunted tunnel! What unfolds next is a beautiful story of young love…and oddly horny aliens and spirits? Read more

REVIEW

This story is really crazy and I've read a bit ahead online and now I'm really glad I got my hands on a physical. I love this series so much for its wackiness and gorgeous artwork accompanied by eye catching double spread pages, it is truly beautiful. Some of the stuff we've seen in the first chapter alone can be taken extremely out of context for funny memes, in which I compare this part to the random shit I've or you've seen in Fire Punch/Chainsaw Man (This author was an assistant under Fujimoto). It seamlessly blends action, romance, comedy, horror, slice of life, mystery, and sci-fi in the weirdest and best way possible. Just generally a fun manga overall. I'm calling it now, this series is going to be the next biggest new gen alongside the likes of other great up and coming series like Kaiju No.8 and Sakamoto Days, the potential is practically endless with this series and seems like its destined for greatness. I haven't had this much fun reading a series in a while with how much craziness happens in the manga. If anyone is reading this review and is on the edge about picking it up, then I hope I persuaded you into purchasing a copy to try to read for the first time. Its already one of my favorites.
