Rei Kigata is a boy, a first year middle schooler at Ishido Middle School.

The newspaper tells a story in which one of his teachers at the school will get killed in a car accident the following morning and Kigata will be a witness of the accident. The story turns into a fact in the following day and since then, the mysterious newspaper is delivered everyday.

Where it came from
Kyoufu Shinbun, originally a seminal horror manga series by Jiro Tsunoda starting in the 1960s, was revived as a short-form ONA adaptation in 2014. The series centers on a cursed newspaper that arrives daily at the protagonist's home, predicting horrific events and shortening the life span of the reader with each delivery. This adaptation sought to modernize the dread of Tsunoda’s original work, utilizing a minimalist, episodic structure that highlights the inevitable nature of the protagonist’s tragic fate.
The 2014 ONA project was designed to evoke the classic atmosphere of Showa-era supernatural comics while utilizing digital animation techniques to heighten the unsettling, static imagery of the source material. It was received as a stylistic homage to Tsunoda’s legacy, focusing on the psychological impact of the supernatural rather than high-octane action. The production reflects a broader interest in the Japanese horror genre's ability to maintain its cultural relevance through recurring adaptations of its most iconic, cautionary tales.
