Keitaro Gentoga just wants a normal life. After a terrifying incident that left him a shut-in, he's finally ready for university, reconnecting with his childhood friend, and even taking a tutoring job. His one unbreakable rule? Absolutely no more ghosts. But fate, or perhaps something far more sinister, has other plans.

His new charge, elementary schooler Yayoi Houzuki, isn't just any brilliant kid; she's an occult-obsessed genius with a chilling, singular agenda: hunting down the most dangerous, malevolent spirits. She won't stop until she finds the one that dragged her mother into the abyss. And she sees Keitaro's unique, terrifying spiritual affliction not as a curse to be feared, but as the perfect tool—a living, breathing lure for the entities she craves.

Thrust back into a grotesque world of unspeakable horrors and visceral dread, Keitaro must confront not only the monstrous spirits that flock to him, but also the unsettling determination of his young, ruthless companion. Can he survive being bait for the deadliest entities, or will this "dark gathering" be his ultimate undoing?
