That new transfer student...
I think we'll get along with him.
You might be right.
He's a bit strange, though.
Look.
Speak of the devil.
Tsukano-kun!
I'm Shibayama, and this is Hosotani-kun.
We're in your class.
How do you like your new school?
I love it!
Not just the school, but the whole town, as well.
I think there might be some mysterious things to see.
You think so?
I've lived in this town my whole life,
but I've never seen anything that interesting.
Yeah.
It's actually pretty boring to us.
We're making a group for people interested in seeing mysterious things.
We call it the Supernatural Club.
Would you consider joining?
We won't bore you.
Really?
I'd love to join!
I love stuff like that.
Okay. Welcome, then.
Tsukano-kun, try not to be shocked by this,
but this guy has special powers.
He's even going to be on TV.
Really?
Nah, it's not quite the same as having super powers.
Wow, that's amazing!
Show me, please!
Okay, we'll have a welcome party for you after school.
I'll show you then.
I'm gonna see something amazing right after transferring here!
What's up?
Take a look at this weird flower!
An eyeball!
When did flowers like that start growing here?
Th-They're creepy...
This town is so great!
This'll be fun!
I'd like to introduce the newest member of the Supernatural Club.
This is Tsukano-kun.
Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you.
Man, I sure was surprised, though.
I tried dissecting one of these supernatural plants,
and it was exactly like a real eyeball.
What?
Do you see something?
Yeah.
It's a spirit that can't move on.
The spirit of a warrior.
Spirits bound to the earth inhabited the plants
and started a colony out there.
So you can see spirits!
It's not that big a deal.
Bravo!
Wasn't that impressive, Tsukano-kun?
Yeah, it was!
Shibayama-kun, can I have a try?
Can you do it, too?
I don't know, but it made me want to try.
True.
You won't know unless you try.
Okay, Tsukano-kun,
picture the broken spoon in your mind.
Concentrate on that, and nothing else.
Break... Break...
Tsukano-kun, that was amazing!
You have super powers, too!
No, no, sorry.
That was just a joke.
I'll show you again.
I bend the spoon's neck until it weakens, like this,
until just when it's about to break...
Then...
I didn't see you do that.
Yeah, you did it just like Shibayama-kun did.
It's easy if you practice enough.
It's the same thing magicians do.
Just so you know,
I'm using just my mind to do it.
Please don't misunderstand.
Yes, of course!
I was cheating because I don't have powers like you do.
Right, no one's misunderstanding.
Right.
Well, this is rare.
I never see you alone.
Oh, Kitagawa-kun.
Where's Shibayama?
He's doing some mental training in the classroom.
Mental training?
He seemed like he wanted to be alone.
That sounds like him.
That transfer student really shook him up.
Huh? What do you mean?
That magic trick from yesterday.
He pulled off the same thing Shibayama did.
But it wasn't the same thing.
Well, let's hope not.
Kitagawa-kun, you aren't doubting Shibayama-kun, are you?
No, you've got it all wrong...
Yo!
Hosotani-kun and Kitagawa-kun, so this is where you were.
I wanted to talk to Shibayama-kun,
but he wouldn't answer me, so I came to look for you.
I found something on a morning walk.
Your town has an awesome waterfall!
Waterfall?
You know,
the waterfall up the trail to the north of the school.
Was there a waterfall there?
I dunno.
Huh? You didn't know about it?
We'll check it out as a club after school!
Are you sure there's a waterfall?
This path is part of the school's marathon course,
but I've never seen a waterfall.
It's awesome!
I can't believe you've never seen it.
There, listen closely.
You're right.
I hear a waterfall.
I can't believe it.
Why haven't we ever seen this waterfall before?
It's supernatural.
It really feels supernatural.
I'm glad you're talking again, Shibayama-kun.
I thought you'd never speak again.
Shibayama-kun, I was worried, too.
But I guess you need to prepare seriously to be on TV.
Well, that wasn't the reason.
The truth is... I'm actually concerned.
Concerned? About what?
Concerned that people won't be surprised by a bent spoon.
Everyone's an expert these days.
I need to do something new.
Shibayama-kun, there's something mysterious about this waterfall.
I actually stood on those rocks under the waterfall this morning.
Getting there was a little dangerous, though.
What do you think happened?
What happened?
Watch this!
Tsukano-kun, what was that?
I think it's the force of the waterfall.
Maybe, if you stand under this waterfall, you obtain a strange power!
Could it be true?
Class,
I have something to ask you.
As some of you probably know,
Shibayama-kun from our class has been missing for two days.
If anyone knows where he might be, please speak up.
Where could Shibayama-kun have gone?
So many strange things have been happening.
The eyeball plants growing,
the waterfall that appeared out of nowhere...
Now, to top it all off, Shibayama-kun is missing.
Hey, Kitagawa-kun,
can you use your ability to see spirits to find Shibayama-kun?
Well... I do sense something unpleasant.
I feel his spirit energy from this direction.
I'm sure of it.
Shibayama is at the bottom of that waterfall.
The bottom of the waterfall?
Hey, Kitagawa-kun, are you sure?
If my spirit-sensing ability is correct,
he's down there in the water.
Then we have to help him!
No, it's too late!
He's a spirit bound to this place now.
It would be impossible to retrieve his body from the bottom of that pool.
Shibayama-kun...
He was worried about his super powers.
Maybe he threw himself in to escape the pressure.
I can see his spirit up there!
Kitagawa-kun.
You're wrong.
What?
Shibayama-kun didn't commit suicide.
Then what happened?
Shibayama-kun wanted to stand under the waterfall.
He thought that doing so would give him a strange power.
But then he fell...
Shibayama-kun...
I feel like more scary things are going to happen.
Hey!
Guys! You won't believe this!
What's wrong, Tsukano-kun?
You won't believe it!
I was on a walk and saw something amazing!
Come with me!
What is it now?
There's a mysterious lake about a kilometer from here!
I saw something there!
A lake?
See? This is it.
Th-This can't be!
This was a new housing development!
Where are all the houses?
And the people living in them?
Where did they go?
I couldn't believe it!
So can you guys guess what I saw?
Tsukano-kun, stop!
Shibayama-kun might be dead,
under that waterfall you found!
It was you who told him about going under the waterfall!
Wait a second!
It's almost like you're saying it's my fault he died.
We don't know that he's dead!
Relax, Hosotani-kun. You're right.
We don't know for sure.
Tsukano-kun, what's so funny?
How can you all be losing your nerve?
You're Supernatural Club members, aren't you?
Seeing these things happen should get your hearts racing!
Why aren't you trying to enjoy them more?
Of course it's dangerous! Why wouldn't it be?
But if you're afraid of danger,
don't go looking for supernatural phenomena!
There, look!
That's the thing I saw!
A giant creature, alive since prehistoric times!
Dinosaurs are still alive!
Things started to change in this town after he transferred here.
Yes, Tsukano Ryou...
Strange things started happening the moment he transferred here.
Everything that's happened was caused by Tsukano Ryou.
Who's knocking this late at night?
Hey, Mai.
Open the door.
It's me, Shibayama.
Open the door.
Shibayama-kun?
Shibayama-kun? He's alive!
Hang on, I'll open the door!
Shibayama-kun!
What was that?
I don't know!
Hey, open up.
Mai, it's me.
It sounds like Shibayama-kun.
Are you saying that's Shibayama-kun?
It looked like...
...a drowned corpse.
Mai...
Kitagawa-kun...
Hey, guys.
I got back from cram school to find my house gone and these things in its place.
It's crazy.
Oh, you guys are here, too!
You really are the Supernatural Club!
Look at these humongous monuments!
Kitagawa-kun, listen!
It's him! He's causing all of this!
Tsukano-kun is remaking our town into Bizarro World!
I'm making this town into Bizarro World?
Don't make such strange accusations.
I'm just taking walks in search of mysterious things.
How would I make these things, anyway?
Shibayama-kun sure got bloated before coming back to life!
Wh-What?
Shibayama?
Are you Shibayama?
Incredible!
You spent so long in that pool that you received a great power,
even though you're a corpse!
I'm not gonna let you beat me!
I'll kill you for sure this time, Shibayama!
Kitagawa-kun, that was impressive!
I know. You went under the waterfall.
I was watching the entire thing.
Shibayama-kun meant to go under the waterfall late at night, but you pushed him from behind
and then went under the waterfall yourself.
Oh, you knew?
My spirit sense was a sham, but this is real!
Tsukano-kun, I like your Bizarro World!
Let's make this town a lot more fun!
Sorry, Kitagawa-kun.
I can't accept.
Such a shame.
The next day,
the transfer student transferred again,
and the town returned to normal.
But Shibayama-kun never returned,
and Kitagawa-kun later vanished, as well.
Rumor has it he went looking for Tsukano Ryou.
Still, I wonder if that transfer student
is discovering mysterious things at his new school, too.

Brother, if you don't inter her,
Yuki-chan won't be able to go to heaven.
Yuki!
Scarecrow
Collection No. 035
What are you doing here?!
I brought flowers for Yuki-san...
How dare you?!
Yuki wouldn't have died if you hadn't come into her life!
If only you hadn't opposed our marriage, Father...
Don't you call me "Father"!
Leave!
I loved Yuki-san!
You damned weasel! Just you wait!
Yuki, it's me.
There was no need for you to die.
Don't you see this scarecrow?
It's to keep weasels like you away!
Excuse me.
Yuki...
This is Yuki.
Yuki, do you recognize your father?
Answer me, please!
It does look just like Numata-san's daughter. What skillful work.
Everyone,
my daughter's soul has inhabited the scarecrow.
See?
It's like she's alive again.
But she doesn't answer, no matter what you say.
Earlier, I tried taking her home,
but she quickly turned back into a regular scarecrow.
That's why I dressed her in clothes she liked in life and put her here.
They look good on her.
I'm telling you to stop this!
Don't you think it's madness to put a scarecrow on a grave?
I'm not putting the scarecrow here so it'll become Shigeru.
I just want to see him, even if it's just a scarecrow!
Don't you think it's creepy?
How can scarecrows look like people who have died?!
Aren't you sad that Shigeru died?
Calling it creepy...
Why are you so against it?!
Is there some reason you don't want me to stand it up?
Okay.
If it means that much to you, we'll stand it up.
Yuki...
Toshio-san.
Yuki, you're alive?
Marry me.
I don't care what your father says.
Really?
Yes. I'll never let you go.
Even if I'm... that?
It was a dream.
Why was I sleeping here?
I remember coming here during the day,
but I'm sure I went home.
Why...
Why is Shigeru making this face?
D-Don't ask me.
I told you not to!
He's looking at you.
It's your eyes playing tricks.
I'll rip out this creepy scarecrow!
Dear, no!
Move!
You killed Shigeru.
He's dead.
