After a traumatic incident shattered their childhood, the pair make a pact to become utterly average high school students, blending into the background and avoiding any attention. However, their carefully constructed ordinary existence is constantly threatened by the mysterious and unsettling events that seem to follow them. Kobato, a sharp-witted young man with a knack for deduction, and Osanai, his perceptive and equally intelligent companion, find themselves drawn into solving small but perplexing mysteries that challenge their resolve to remain invisible. As they navigate the delicate balance between their desire for normalcy and their innate talents, the series explores themes of identity, trauma, and the pursuit of happiness. With a contemplative tone and a slow-burn narrative, this psychological mystery drama offers a unique twist on the school-life genre, captivating viewers with its quiet tension and character-driven storytelling.
