Description:

Eight years ago, Naoya Fukamachi experienced a haunting Blue Lantern Festival, where he encountered his deceased grandfather. This traumatic event gifted him with a unique ability: he can hear people's voices distort when they tell lies. This power led to a lonely existence, pushing him away from others, including his own family. Now a college student, Naoya finds solace in the presence of Akiyoshi Takatsuki, a handsome associate professor of Folk Studies. Takatsuki possesses a perfect memory, recalling everything he sees, and is solely interested in the world's strange phenomena. Crucially for Naoya, Takatsuki's words are always true, his voice resonating comfortably without distortion.

Naoya is drawn to Takatsuki's truthful nature. Their paths intertwine when a mysterious incident involving "Kokuri" strikes an elementary school. A child's undistorted claim of being "taken to Mr. Kokuri" excites Takatsuki, hinting at a genuine mystery. Thrilled by this rare occurrence, Takatsuki, along with a watchful graduate student and the distinctive Naoya, begins investigating. Together, this unusual team embarks on a journey to unravel human mysteries, using Takatsuki's perfect recall and Naoya's unparalleled ability to discern truth from deception.
