After making friends with [Ken Takakura](https://anilist.co/character/222593), who she calls "Okarun" (due to refusing to call him by the same name as the actor she idolizes), Momo wishes to help restore his body back to normal after being cursed by a yokai and must overcome other paranormal activities that are involved.

This is a story about Momo, a high school girl who comes from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult fanatic. After Momo rescues Okarun from being bullied, they begin talking. However, an argument ensues between them since Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens exist, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts exist.
 
To prove to each other what they believe in is real, Momo goes to an abandoned hospital where a UFO has been spotted and Okarun goes to a tunnel rumored to be haunted. To their surprise, they each encounter overwhelming paranormal activities that transcend comprehension. Amid these predicaments, Momo awakens her hidden power and Okarun gains the power of a curse to overcome these new dangers! Their fateful love begins as well!?
 
The story of the occult battle and adolescence starts!

A Mexican voice actress. She is known for being the Latin American Spanish voice of Boo in *Monsters, Inc.* and Mary Bromfield in *Shazam!*.

She's the daughter of [Humberto Vélez](https://anilist.co/staff/184289/Humberto-Vlez) and [Cony Madera](https://anilist.co/staff/182557/Cony-Madera), and the sister of [Humberto Vélez Jr.](https://anilist.co/staff/206473/Humberto-Vlez-Jr)

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?

While the mission to exorcise Jin "Jiji" Enjouji's family home is underway, things are not going as expected. Momo Ayase narrowly evades an attempted abduction while Ken "Okarun" Takakura and Jiji are ambushed by the Kitou family—the unsettling landlords of the cursed estate. The trio's efforts threaten the foundation of this enigmatic town shrouded in legends and mysteries.
 
As Momo, Okarun, and Jiji are drawn deeper into the maze of folklore and supernatural entities, they must each utilize their unique powers if they want to survive and unravel the secrets of the uncanny town.
