Episode 5 Recap

Episode 5, which aired on August 1, 2026, took the story into darker territory. The episode was set in Tokyo Prison, where men were transforming into gears one after another and disappearing. Iwamoto went to see a death row prisoner named Kamikusa, who was suspected of being behind this series of incidents.

The Story So Far

The series is set in the 1910s and follows Kodō Iwamoto, a third-year student at Seihō Middle School, which is directly controlled by the military. The school is dedicated to collecting and researching supernatural phenomena to harness that power for military use. Under military orders, Iwamoto travels across the country to investigate supernatural phenomena.

In one town where “black snow” falls, he meets a boy who believes his mysterious powers are an illness. Iwamoto shows the boy how to use his powers and offers him a letter of recommendation to Seihō Middle School. As he travels to other areas, Iwamoto encounters many other mysterious events.

The series is based on the manga by Hiroshi Shiibashi, who is also known for Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan. The anime is produced by Studio DEEN and directed by Toshifumi Kawase.
