On the day Echizen Ryoma returns home after winning the Grand Slam, his plane crashes. Reduced to a wisp of soul, he faces a world destroyed because of him and has no choice but to travel to other worlds to gather energy. He becomes not only an exorcist but also an entertainer. But why are there people here who look just like his seniors, and why do their eyes seem so strange?
As a charlatan exorcist, Ryoma gains fans, but his terrible luck also makes his haters among the most active in the entertainment industry.
Hater: “That Echizen guy has nothing going for him but his face. When he plays tennis, it's all special effects. No real talent, terrible acting, and all he does is ship himself with other people. He's a walking jinx: bad luck follows him wherever he goes. No wonder he'll never be more than a background actor...”
A fan sneers, “What era are you living in? Believe in science. If you have nothing sensible to say, don't show off your embarrassing IQ.”
Meanwhile, the actor in question catches ghosts with one hand and scrolls through his phone with the other, watching the drama unfold as he eats snacks. “...” You're all still a long way from good enough.
So many supernatural phenomena happen around Echizen Ryoma that reporters eager to chase a hot story refuse to be left behind.
Reporter: “Tezuka, we heard you've been having a run of bad luck on set lately because of a certain male celebrity. Is that true?”
For the first time, Tezuka looks at the reporters as if they're idiots. “We're in the interstellar age. Believe in science.”
“Atobe...”
Atobe raises his head with an arrogant, imperious air and looks at these unworthy people. “Are you trying to tell me what to do, hm?”
“Fuji, about...”
Fuji smiles meaningfully, hinting at something. “Ah, you should believe in science.”
The reporter, who hadn't finished speaking, shudders. “...”
When the reporters turn their attention to him, Sanada, who's mixed up with the underworld, gives them a look. They all fall silent, not mentioning the male celebrity again.
Yukimura, the company CEO and the male celebrity's boss, smiles in a way that sends a chill through the room. “People who spread rumors will have bad luck, even if they believe in science.”
That finally shuts the reporters up for good.
Theme: Believe in science, reject superstition
