The clock on my bedroom wall ticked past midnight, its soft clicks drowned out by the growl of my stomach. I, Haruto Tanaka, high school second-year and self-proclaimed master of procrastination, was facing a crisis of epic proportions: I was starving. Not just “I could eat a snack” starving, but “I might sell my soul for instant ramen” starving. “Ugh, why didn’t I grab something after club?” I groaned, flopping onto my bed. The kendo club had run late, and I’d been too lazy to stop by the convenience store. Now, my fridge was a barren wasteland, and my wallet was crying somewhere under a pile of manga. As I stared at the ceiling, a wild idea struck me. “What if… I summon food?” I sat up, grinning like an idiot. Okay, hear me out. Last week, I’d found this weird old book in the school library’s “do not borrow” section. It was called The Grimoire of Minor Conveniences, and it had spells for stuff like “find lost socks” or “make your tea the perfect temperature.” I’d skimmed it during

Seventeen-year-old Eleanor "Ellie" Hartley thought she was escaping the past when she and her mother moved to Blackvale. But something about the town feels off from the moment they arrive. The people act too polite. The streets seem too quiet. And there's an old bell on school grounds that everyone insists hasn't rung in years... even though Ellie hears it on her first night there. The fog here doesn't just swallow sound and sight-it plays tricks on memory. People vanish. Time stutters. And things that shouldn't exist begin to surface-like names etched into trees that disappear when you blink... or a diary belonging to a girl no one remembers. Season One: The Town That Shouldn't Exist is the first entry in a ten-season supernatural horror epic set in the eerie, twisted town of Blackvale-a place where nothing is what it seems, and no one who arrives is ever truly new.

At nineteen, he's already a college dropout, a disappointment to his mother, and a ghost in his own life. No friends, no future, no hope—just endless days of watching other people live the life he'll never have. Until he dreams. In that dream, he wakes up in a parallel Japan where everything feels familiar yet impossible. Cherry blossoms bloom out of season, the sky holds mysteries he can't explain, and most importantly—**people can see him.** A mysterious silver bracelet appears on his wrist, pulsing with an energy he doesn't understand. It seems to respond to his emotions, but what does it want? And why does it feel like it's... counting something? --- Enter Airi Minazuki—the girl everyone loves to hate.
