Written by Midori Sato with original concept and supervision by Norio Tsuruta, this children's horror novel series is published under KADOKAWA's "Kadokawa Tsubasa Bunko" imprint, with illustrations by Yon. The TV anime adaptation comes at a milestone moment, marking both the series' 10th anniversary since its 2016 debut and the achievement of 1 million copies sold.
The story follows Fushigi, a mysterious boy who carries a red notebook, and Jimmy, who is always smiling, as they "collect" various scary stories. This beloved horror series for children finally comes to life in animation.
The anime visual depicts the protagonist overlooking a cityscape under an ominously red sky, creating an unsettling atmosphere.
