Uncanny and strange incidents keep occurring around Kanna, and each time she has no choice but to seek out Mr. Chuzenji, who waits with a stern expression in the library preparation room. As the synopsis says she opens that door 'again today', this meeting is a repeating structure. Even though it deals with ghost stories, the title carries the sentence 'There are no strange things in this world', so the way it treats the uncanny deserves attention. The spectacle lies in the point where a very different duo, a teacher and a schoolgirl, clash different perspectives in each case.
The work's description sets this story in the period before 'Kyogokudo' has yet opened its secondhand bookshop. The way everyday youth and uncanny incidents meet in the same space of a school creates this work's own texture. It can be watched on Wavve by subscription, and the title carries the label '(Subtitled)'.
What to watch for
- 01
It is worth noting the repeating structure in which Kanna opens the door of the library preparation room every time an uncanny incident occurs.
- 02
It is worth looking at the contrast of the duo formed by the stern-faced teacher and the schoolgirl caught up in the incidents.
- 03
It is worth checking how the period setting of a school in 1948 Tokyo, not long after the war ended, interlocks with the uncanny mystery.
This work suits viewers who like school-set uncanny mysteries and a teacher-and-student duo.
