Momo Ayase forms an unusual friendship with her school's UFO enthusiast, whom she nicknames “Okarun” because his name is not to be spoken aloud. While Momo believes in spirits, she dismisses the idea of aliens as nonsense. Conversely, Okarun is a firm believer in extraterrestrial life but skeptical of spirits. To settle their differences, they embark on a quest to prove each other wrong—Momo heads to a UFO hotspot, and Okarun ventures into a haunted tunnel. What unfolds is a heartwarming tale of young love intertwined with humorous encounters involving rather amorous aliens and spirits. Original Web Manga. Read for FREE on MANGA Plus.
