As the result of a viral outbreak, that occurred over a decade ago, the way the human brain works is irrevocably altered in such a way that beings, thought to be figments of imagination, like ghosts or monsters, become real... now collectively known as
Phantoms. Since then children have been born with special abilities. Most of these apparitions at worst are a nuisance, but some of them can turn out to be quite troublesome...
Ichijou Haruhiko is a widely-read first-year high school student at
Hosea Academy, with the special ability to summon and seal away Phantoms by drawing them; always accompanied by the carefree, helpful Phantom
Ruru. While his energetic upperclassman,
Kawakami Mai, fights Phantoms with the ability
Spirit of Five Elements. The newest member of their club, the glutton
Izumi Reina, uses her
Phantom Eater ability to seal away Phantoms. There is another Phantom-hunting club member in the not very highly regarded
Team E at the academy: the brave yet stoic
Minase Koito, who, at least initially, prefers to fight Phantoms by herself.
Together they take on contracts their teacher,
Himeno Arisu, gives them, dealing with all manners of troublesome Phantoms. In doing so, they experience the ups and downs of resolving issues with paranormal life, before an incident leads them to find out the truth about this world.
