It is a harem school drama that comes with a melancholic tone. Makoto Itou has noticed a girl from freshman year named Kotonoha. He immediately fell in love with her beauty and try to approach her but never got that encouragement.

Instead of confessing his love for Kotonoha he clicked the photo of her and set it as his mobile phone wallpaper. Soon after, Sekai discovered their love interest Makoto and tried to set him up with his love.

The story appears to be very sweet and comes with flat characters. The design also appears to be good but when it comes to the psychological flavour then it has something of a different vibe.

The World YAMIZUKAN is the best of the best Halloween anime as it covers the theme of horror and supernatural with suspense. It has the darkest depth in the world where supernatural activities unfold very quietly.

Each tale within the page of the encyclopedia gives details about surreal experiences and unusual activities which come with a disastrous ending. It includes the horrifying story of a man searching for his adulterous wife but later on finds himself at the mercy of visitors.

It also includes crop circles that appear suddenly on a family farm and create some visitors. All these stories have something terrifying that makes the anime very dark. It appears to be very classic in art.

But at the same time, it's very hard to focus on one character or even one story as there is no time for development.
