The premise, in the publisher's words

"Ghost-kun" who suddenly became a "ghost" at one point was in a hurry. It's hard because I don't have any memories of the past. The "soul" called "Ochokotama" that appeared there said, "My friends are trapped in hell. Please help me." The story became more and more complicated. I'm full of myself ... But there seems to be something, you may know something if you meet the Great Enma. Thinking so, "Ghost-kun" goes to hell with "Ochokotama"...
