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!

The verdict
Season picksMust watchFall 2024A gyaru whose grandma is a spirit medium and an occult-obsessed dork try to prove each other wrong, and both are right: she awakens psychic powers and he gets possessed by a crotch-goblin demon granny. The most kickass, least generic Jump battle shonen since Hunter x Hunter and the best romcom the magazine has printed, turning throwaway gags into major plot points. Science SARU's experimental style, a Kensuke Ushio score, a Creepy Nuts OP and an inspired dub make it literally perfect and probably anime of the year.
