The start of the story was pretty good. It had a nice balance of mystery, crime, and horror elements. I’m expecting even scarier and deeper stories with more frightening or jump-scare scenes. I liked it since I’m into mystery anime, so I’ll definitely continue watching it. But what’s making me curious is… is this a BL? Hahaha.

this episode is such a moody start. Seeing Mikado finally meet Hiyakawa at the bookstore was intense because their chemistry is immediately electric and kind of eerie. I loved the creepiness of the soul cleansing scenes

start kaafi mysterious aur creepy vibe ke saath hua. Story interesting lagi, specially ghost seeing powers aur exorcism scenes ka combo kaafi unique the, Episode slow pace se start hota hai but end tak curiosity bana deta hai ki aage kya hoga. Horror atmosphere aur dark visuals kaafi ache the.

Episode Context

A cold open into one of the more atmospheric BL-horror hybrids out there. Episode 1 wastes no time establishing its unsettling mood, expect creeping dread, muted color palettes, and a protagonist who wants nothing to do with the supernatural world pressing in on him. Kousuke Mikado's ability to see spirits isn't treated as a gift; it's a burden, and the show leans into that discomfort effectively. The arrival of enigmatic exorcist Rihito Hiyakawa shifts the energy entirely, introducing a charged dynamic that blends tension with intrigue. Pacing is deliberate rather than action-heavy, prioritizing atmosphere and character psychology over spectacle. If you're looking for horror that trades jump scares for slow-burn unease wrapped in a supernatural mystery with BL undertones, this premiere sets the table with confidence.
