Hime Sakuragaike and Akira Yonezawa have been friends since childhood. Going into high school, Akira decides to live her true self, the self she has only told to Hime up to this time. She has decided to live and dress as a girl. Hime is fiercely protective of her best friend, but her feelings may be more than just friendship and protectiveness. Fighting through the peers who tease and don’t accept Akira are two girls who want to become Akira’s friends: Yukka Ishiyama and Anzu Taneno. Hime questions their intentions, but Akira is relieved to have more girl friends.

One day, urban explorer and legends enthusiast Sorawo discovers a mysterious door that leads her to a world where the unexplained can become reality. There, she meets Toriko, a beautiful and deadly you woman searching for her best friend who got lost in this Otherside. The two agree to explore together as there are dangerous and paranormal monsters that defy logic and take over one's senses. Toriko reveals she explores the Otherside while armed with a gun, which startles Sorawo at first, but starts to make more sense the more they encounter deadly and unexplainable phenomenon.
