A young boy sketches the horrors that dwell in his mind, giving form to the unsettling urban legends and rumors of Japan. Each tale is a standalone vignette of the occult and mysterious, presented in a distinctive picture-story animation style reminiscent of traditional kamishibai.

The stories delve into the consequences of encountering things not meant to be seen, such as a person with a muscular arm that one must never look upon.
