Synopsis
The story follows a nameless man who’s far more sensitive to the supernatural than mostâsix times more, to be exact. One evening, he crosses paths with Mechako, the eccentric leader of “Kaiki-gumi,” a group that keeps mischievous ghosts and monsters in check. Despite his fear, he’s dragged into helping rebuild the organization, setting off a string of bizarre, spooky, yet oddly humorous encounters.
A lighthearted mix of comedy and horror, Let’s Go Kaiki-gumi delivers a fun twist on the world of the supernatural.
