After one of their friends commits suicide, strange things begin happening to a group of young Tokyo residents. One of them sees visions of his dead friend in the shadows on the wall, while another's computer keeps showing strange, ghostly images. Is their friend trying to contact them from beyond the grave, or is there something much more sinister going on?

Pulse Ratings & Reviews

  • constant51July 4, 2025
    Starts out strong but goes off the rails halfway in. The characters also make very stupid decisions.
  • ScottOctober 9, 2024
    The dead are starting to return to our world because modern life is spent with a foot already in the grave. We're all alone and looking for connection, but to find it is oblivion. This has aged well to an almost prescient level. Or maybe existential loneliness and isolation are so foundational to the human experience that this type of story will always resonate in that shared, empty, existence.
