Momo Ayase\, a high school student obsessed with actor Ken Takakura\, befriends a nerdy boy she nicknames Okarun (instead of his actual name\, Ken Takakura) who mistakes her kindness for a shared obsession with paranormal phenomena; while she believes in spirits\, he believes in aliens\, and they send each other to notorious places to prove their respective interests. \nVisit here for more information and registration: https://guestlist.co/events/791517
