ITT: Write an Anime Plot

It's 2018. We've been seeing nothing but reposts and empty ideas.

We've forgotten the most essential part of writing an anime: the three-episode rule.

Conditions: Write an anime storyline and write the catch within the first three episodes.

Girl recently fostered out to her childhood best friend's aunt, where he also now lives, gains admittance into an exclusive high school through the power of excellent grades and a scholarship, as does he.

The trick is to let no one find out about how she got there and what her circumstances really are, both out of a sense of pride and a desire not to become a target for bullies.

With nothing but fitting in on her mind, she cozies up to the classroom sweetheart, a slightly ditzy but cute af girl who really only got there because of her family's connections. Unlike her laidback genius of a twin brother, that is.

Thanks to her growing friendship and frequent study sessions with the ditz, our protag comes into contact more and more with the twin brother. One night after staying too late at the the twins' home, it's decided that the brother will walk the protag home - she can't spare the money to catch public transport, so instead she bluffs that walking is how she gets her exercise in, and she simply can't miss a day! Well, not without an escort, the ditz insists. So they set off.

It's as the protag is stressing over how to possibly avoid letting him see her own rundown home that he turns to her and asks,

"Are you a ward of the state?"

Cute girls doing uncute things

CC officelady goes on a vacation and falls in love with a cute Okinawan boy. They engage in romantic hi-jinks and the boy teaches her to dive for pearls, every episode featuring at least one underwater scene of incredible, breathtaking beauty.
I'm pretty sure you could hook the audience in just one episode, don't need three for that.

Good guy is reincarnated and trying to be a good person, but gets caught up in society politics
Other character is reincarnated but ends up basically controlling everyone despite being lower than them politically by using evil power
Both of them have to join forces because the actual evil enemy is going to destroy the whole world and consume their souls
Tag team duo drives the evil back
Eventually they go their separate ways in reincarnation

I wish there was more decent english fanfiction, but anything off of the first page of royalroadl is generally shit, and most of the stuff on it is also shit

It turns out he was bluffing, relying just on things he'd observed (signs of her being poor, for example) combined with rumors that one was attending the school that year. But it's too late, her reaction's given the game away.

He's just a carefree fuck though, so all he's interested in is asking questions - he's never met someone in her position and he's curious. But it's as they go back and forth, answering and asking each other questions, that they realize they have a lot more in common then they ever would have thought

They're both jaded and bitter about the world and the people in it, just coming from different experiences.

His father originally divorced his mother, kicked them all out, but took the son back in as quickly as he could once it was discovered his second wife was infertile. His twin sister? She was only brought back to live there so as to try and keep him in line.

So yeah, they're a couple of secret freaks, and the show's about them showing their true feelings and discussing their real thoughts with each other, while doing their best to keep fitting in and leading "normal" lives.

Oh and they gradually fall in love with each other because it's a high school romance. That's the ultimate goal here.

The anime takes place in an off the grid underground lab. Reverse engineering, psychic research and things like that. It's slice of life.

Hmm I am not really good with plots but..

So a machine god has been around for sometime on earth and hangs around school. He is known as "poker face" aka mashin sunao, observes humans by reason. He gets in all kinda circumstances he fixes. (Or not)

Which it is for now.

Guy is reborn as unreasonable busty and assed girl in martial arts fantasy world.
Born to a well off family, the MC has slaves
Some of the slaves are beast slaves
Beasts can't get humans pregnant, but slaves are also under binding runes that force them to obey
Mc uses them for """masturbation""" which basically means privately the MC is a slut who lets his/her main slave fuck him/her to his hearts content
Mc eventually has issues and decides to break it off and leave with the slave in tow
Mc and slave adopt children and live happily ever after
Mc can command the slave to do anything, but it's her that obeys the commands now

Okay, that's like 90% fap material, but still

IT’S 2018 - that is the entire plot of the show

Whats the other 10%? It felt a bit dark.

have you read tactics

And he also (becus he observes and is reasonable) he is also a weeb(well, more a rich weeb)

martial art worlds are shitty in general because chinese societal culture is terrible to live in when taken to a fantasy extreme
Basically MC is powerful enough to say yes/no to marriage and gets paired with shitheads who are just general assholes on top of misogynists, but Mc makes a point to understand how a guy would think to ignore blatant glancing at his/her huge tits and ass, but can't overlook them being assholes to people to show off their "power"
Something happens that drives him/her to leave and takes her slaves with her
Maybe to a family house someone on the countryside that they eventually escape from to start somewhere else

MC lets the slave choice if he wants to fuck her since she/he doesn't wanna force it even though she can.
Slave's dick gets the better of him even though he knows he'll be executed if her father finds out and knows he's actually the fathers slave, but the father eventually transfer ownership permanently

So he has a mansion and no butlers and maidens(tough, he keeps his mansion clean if it needed) instead of a maiden or butler. He has a metal box with a living weaponized dev loli in it(reference 2 C3: cube x cursed x curious)

Schoolgirls doing schoolgirl things

Set in present day, 6 space pods suddenly land on earth, each containing a GUNDAM. Inside each pod was a single word, written in every language known to man (and even some unrecognizable): SURVIVE.

The GUNDAM are humungous and ridiculously overpowered by modern standards - literal city-destroying superweapons. If any country had control of even just two GUNDAM instead of one, they could easily take over the world. The 6 landed in the following areas: USA, Japan, Russia, Germany, India and Brazil. Indian engineers are the first to properly interface with a GUNDAM, and within weeks they eradicate Pakistan and take over the Middle East. The other countries frantically catch up and defend their borders with their GUNDAM. Each country quickly becomes a regional hegemon, with all neighboring countries subsumed under their control after the first few careless demonstrations of the power of GUNDAM.

The story proper starts twenty years later. The world is teetering on a delicate peace. Although the Mutually Assured Destruction guaranteed by the existence of GUNDAM prevents open war, tensions are higher than ever with GUNDAM reminding everyone how close annihilation is. GUNDAM are almost revered as patron saints and Holy Guardians of each region. [Generic Not-Japanese Name Here] has trained all his life for the highly selective GUNDAM Pilot Programme, after his parents were killed in warfare in the early months of the first appearance of GUNDAM. After years of singular focus on qualifying, he is finally annointed as one of the select few to pilot GUNDAM and serve and protect his motherland.

But questions still abound about the GUNDAM. Signs point to GUNDAM being sent from humans in the future rather than from space, but for what purpose? Initially, humanity believed that they were intended as weapons to defend against alien invasion, but after twenty years of no show and constant geopolitical strife, it becomes increasingly plausible that SURVIVE referred to surviving the coming war between the major powers. There are further signs that there were supposed to be 8 GUNDAM in total, but only 6 have been found.

But none of this matters right now. By the end of the first episode, reports have confirmed that Russian spies have successfully infiltrated and taken control of India's GUNDAM.

SoL in cyberpunk land

He has no family. He had a father and mother. Sad thing: machine gods can only produce 1 god. The father needed 2 sacrifise himself 2 give birth 2 another god.

What about Australia

Dominion of either Japan or India.

The world is divided into sovereign spheres dictated by GUNDAM.

>Not China
>Not America

Come now.

The voice actors are given no script and just improvise a plot for about twenty minutes, then it gets animated

No, not sure what "Tactics" refers to

Also, MC starts out deciding that being reborn female shouldn't be too big a deal
As he starts hitting puberty, he/she realizes that he's developing a bit faster than other girls
Eventually he's queued in to take a look at his own mother to get an idea of what he could become and realizes that, despite not being a martial warrior, is an absolute titty and ass monster only describable as a human cow built for breeding.
MC becomes an athletic version of that which every male character's internal dialog reflects their desire to absolutely destroy that ass, even the most conservative neutral characters who could otherwise resist, including her slave who eventually decides to take her up on her offer to pound it

China got unlucky and the GUNDAM landed in Japan. So they swiftly conquered China.

USA gets a GUNDAM, I'm not sure what you're complaining about.

I meant not being a dominion of Murrica

and for some reason I hallucinated China being on the gundam list, my bad.

And that became mashin sunao. He carriers on the family weapon. Bringing arsenal-chan 2 school in 1 of his beloved cars (he has multiple cars)

From time 2 time his distant-relatives visit him once in a while, arsenal-chan is very Jelly, lucky for arsenal-chan, sunao likes artificial beings alot more then distant-relatives! (In your face incest!)

India/Japan are closer to Australia than America

Please Stop.

This one is fun, albeit pretty standard for Gundam, but standard Gundam is usually fun.

Aw Comone, it is something,

>Comeone

Like I said: please stop.

Can you make something better then my over-the-top story?

>SURVIVE
meh, forced garbage. Why don't they include more? Did they say candlejack and only had enough time to hit submi-

I already have.

Then make something. Puke something good out.

I already have in this thread.

Was it that fap material? By chance?

I'll take a look, but there's plenty of martial chinese novels
Gender bender isn't really explored because ultimately it dissolved down to either the author abandoning the premise immediately after introduction, it being pure fapbait, or the mentally ill author who wants to be a girl eventually having a meltdown or killing themselves

lol no. I don't sound anything like that user.

Was it that forced gundam stuff?

The russian federation security council has gotten a lead on another terror/independence plot from checnya that relies on false flag strikes and therefore gathers a special task force of six Q T O P E R A T O R girls from different countries and special force units in the federation and is sent with a security council handler to carry out top secret operations in chechnya to dismantle the plot.

Each operatorwaifu has a specific role, a set of skills and they need to work together to handle the operation in secrecy as the russian federation can't actually acknowledge the operation. They are to dress in as civilian clothing as possible and materiel must often be procured on-site.

However, after a few episodes, everything is not as it seems and the handler (male or female, not sure yet) will start to question the real purpose of the operation.
Also, no fucking stupid as unsure self-insert MC even though it's basically a harem anime as the girls will get a little bit too friendly with their handler from time to time.

It will absolutely gather interest from certain fringe groups of Sup Forums and /k/ as weapons and tactics are as realistic as they can be. It will also sell a fuckload of figurines

Imagine the following:
>Russian anime grils in tracksuits, cheap headphones and hoodies breaching down doors in the middle of the night shooting down terrorists and saving hostages.

No. Stop trying to deflect by playing guessing games and accept that you fucking suck at writing, just like you said.

To expand on this

For Gender Bender to work in a story and be interesting to the plot, it has to be in my opinion be
>unknown to other character's that it's happened
>be used to put the male character in situations they wouldn't normally be in
>explore the difference in feelings that a female body would have towards other girls and towards men
>explore the possibility that female bodies are attracted to male bodies even if boys are in them (sexual desire overriding logical thought)
>conflict of logical thought and sexual desire
Certainly many stories have been interesting without all of those, but if the MC was to keep it a complete secret, I think that would make it most interesting.
Too many times a story is too caught up with being self insertable that they don't allow the body of the character to influence things they do
I mean, how many times have you really just needed to jerk off so badly, but hated the fact that you did so right after?
That's how imagine how some GB guys in girl bodies would feel. And 5 minutes later, you're okay with it again

Huh. 2 anons were bitching at my work. That's dirty

It can also have some slight stereotypes in each of the six girls, but they aren't stupid as they all secretly have their own motives that slowly comes to light as the story progresses.

I hobe russia wants 2 animate and kicking some mudslimes!

Allies vs Soviet union semi-realistic anime with protagonists from both factions.

Trying to come up with a plot right now. Does Japan do welfare? Or what happens when both parents can't work due to disability? Could the child work and go to school?

If you can't work you get your organs harvested for people who can.

Now that i think about it, i can actually write something like that, but i need suggestions to write after

An anime about how different cultures can be.

>foreigner (from a country that doesn't really matter, but has a very different culture, like Brazil) moves to a house in front of a highschool
>he has a very friendly personality, very different from normal japanese men
>some time later, coming home from work, he finds a girl sitting in front of the school gate, crying
>he brings her to his home, contacts the principal, and her homeroom teacher comes over
>she had a big fight at home, absolutely refuses to go bach, her family is the same
>ends up living with him

>turns out girl is an introvert
>guy is very friendly (extrovert) by japanese standards
>guy helps girl make friends at school

>guy gets in trouble over culture differences
>girl helps him

>obligatory onsen episode
>girl, who has made a bunch of friends now, is shy to go to the onsen, because it's mixed bath
>guy just says to use swimming clothes
>cliche hot springs shenanigans

>sleepover episode
guy gives the group of girls beer, because in his culture it's fine (still ilegal, but people don't care)
>he has a crush on one of her friends
>she drunkenly confesses to him
>they have a thing

>they try to keep it secret, but over time people discover
>everybody supports them

Cliché happy ending, because it's a confy anime.

How about a tournament arc where they compete with other operator teams from other countries in wholesome competitions?

So I have to insert a working aunt or something to make it work?

Don't be silly user.

>very different culture, like Brazil
HUE HUE HUE
*stab*

Hmm that sounds good.
Similiar 2 metal gear solid V

That can actually work, but it has to be very early in the story before the team is deployed and in action. Not bad though, thx my dude

Basically Counter-Strike: Anime Offensive.

Battle scenes vary between everything according to keikaku or everything going wrong and each person improvising, like Girls und Panzer but operators.

>but it has to be very early in the story before the team is deployed and in action.
Why? The real life contests surely don't have that rule.

When they are deep in the shit in chechnya running out of supplies they don't have time to be airlifted out for competitions. But i like it nonetheless

A girl that likes hats finds a boy that also likes hats
Turns out the boy is a girl all along
Turns out the girl is a boy all along
End with trap and reverse trap sex with hats on

Okay scrap my story, I wanna see tomboys in action!

Normal high school romance anime
MC is girl with crush
Boy seems interested, but is a bit distance

The boy is actually involved in a huge underground magic conspiracy mystic world hidden from normal people
Lots of opposing factions and conflicts
Boy is basically the chosen one to save the world and all of them from ultimate darkness

Girl tries to see if she can be with him
Realizes she can't be with him
Realizes no one can be with him
Realizes he knows this, even though he doesn't want it
He still accepts it because everyone is going to die if he doesn't hold the darkness back

MC ends story realizing that there's a huge underground war, and none of them are grateful for the boys sacrifice to stop all of their destruction

Can't a huge helicopter not help them out?

It's not like they'll be killing unarmed civilians all day every day.

Thing is that they're dropped in at the border and sneak their way in without any help. They don't have any contact with mission control except scheduled radio messages. It's one single operation "behind enemy lines"

AYO HOLE UP
SO YOU BE SAYIN'
WE SUM FINNA
SUICIDE SQUAD?

Ahh.

Still, a badass cameo character would be nice.

Oh fuck. it really is isn't it. You might be right in implying a different story could be better.
One episode: One operation or something like that, with a tournament arc set it there somewhere

Episode 1: putting the team together and doing a training exercise.
Episodes 2-3: a mission.
Episode 4: fallout from mission.
Episodes 5-8: competition within whatever outfit they're part of.
Episode 9: UMI DA
Episodes 10-13: big mission with a Bolivian Army Ending to tease S2.

No beating ISIS stuff?

Hmm, something like that could work. I'd have to think about how to write the plot less grimy as it's not really the most comfy series i had planned

>big mission
Room enough for ISIS.
Try reading John Ostrander's Suicide Squad. It alternated between grim operator thriller and goofy hi-jinks pretty naturally.

Aight senpai. Thanks for the inspo. Now, just for shits and giggles. Where would i actually send a script for it to eventually be turned into a chinese cartoon?

Okay I am all in on russian soldier girls!

You're a gaijin,you don't get to do that.

Why not a russian cartoon?

Is animu even legal in russia?

True, true

Russia is litteraly west at japan. I don't think anime is not uncommon there

>send script anywhere
How about up your ass?
No matter how much new years juice you've had, there's no way anyone actually thinks that someone's shitposting on an image board could be taken for serious plot development

I think they're asking if it's censored like in China. No problematic cartoons allowed.

I guess.

A guy differs from a case of Yaoi hands. The only cure is to have sex with men. The thing is the MC is straight. He does fond a guy who likes cross-dressing and they get together.

He thinks he can be the next Scott MacDonald

War is over. Cities are now rubble. The greatness of civilisation is now but a memory. The remnants of humanity now lead more primitive lives.

Humanity can no longer live on the surface, as it is now populated by war machines of colossal size and various shapes. Some say they turned sentient and turned against humanity. Some say they are mindless, simply fulfilling its order to destroy. They are only few, numbering only seven, but they are unstoppable.

Our protagonist is a young girl who lived in a mountainside bomb shelter with possibly the last remaining humans on Earth. However, her father takes her to one of the deepest chambers of the shelter and places her to cyrosleep. When she wakes up, the shelter had been destroyed. A recording of her father said the machines had destroyed it and entrusts her with a mission: to destroy the seven machines using a weapon her father had left her: the "ultimate weapon."

Being the last human left, she sets off in a journey to destroy the seven machines and avenge humanity.


>The Twist
It is revealed she is not a human, but is actually an eighth machine designed to destroy all seven machines.

>The Bigger Twist
The seven machines are not destroyers but protectors of the last remnants of humanity. The sentient machines knew continuing the war could destroy humanity, and so stopped and turned against their owners, but did not destroy them- forcing the opposing sides to sign an armistice and go into hiding. Her "father" was a scientist working for one of these sides who conspired to break the stalemate and win the war. Destroying the machines allowed them to return to warfare, as both sides still claim leadership of the surface.

Meet cute girls. Put it in them.

10/10 who even gives a shit about backstory

The world has been reduced to rubble. Humanity is nearly extinct. The half-destroyed cities have become uninhabitable through radiation. Beyond their boundaries, they say, lie endless burned-out deserts and the remains of splintered forests. Survivors still remember the past greatness of humankind. But the last remains of civilisation have already become a distant memory, the stuff of myth and legend.

More than 20 years have passed since the last plane took off from the earth. Rusted railways lead into emptiness. The ether is void and the airwaves echo to a soulless howling where previously the frequencies were full of news from America, Europe, and China. Man has handed over stewardship of the earth to new life-forms. Mutated by radiation, they are better adapted to the new world. Man's time is over.

A few score thousand survivors live on, not knowing whether they are the only ones left on earth. They live in the Tokyo Metro - the biggest air-raid shelter ever built. It is humanity's last refuge. Stations have become small states- nationstations, their people uniting around ideas, religions, water-filters - or the simple need to repulse an enemy incursion. It is a world without a tomorrow, with no room for dreams, plans, hopes. Feelings have given way to instinct - the most important of which is survival. Survival at any price.

Nakano-sakaue Station is the westernmost inhabited station on its line. It was one of the Metro's underground stations and still remains secure. But now a new and terrible threat has appeared. Hinako, a young girl living in Nakano-sakakue, is given the task of penetrating to the heart of the Metro, to the legendary Otemachi Station, to alert everyone to the awful danger and to get help. She holds the future of her native station in her hands, the whole Metro - and maybe the whole of humanity.

Would watch

ecchi harem anime but the mc is gay and hates every aspect of his life since he constantly gets tits shoved in his face because fanservice

Here's my attempt

Initial presentation: MC is a first year in highschool. He's mostly a lethargic loner with little promise for the future, but he does have his loyal, upbeat best friend who tries to bring liveliness to MC's grim demeanour. MC develops a crush, but as soon as the girl’s boyfriend notices he makes MC the target of ridicule and abuse. Eventually MC becomes fed up and fights back against his bully, but to everyone’s surprise he leaves the bully writhing in pain after a single punch. Over the next few weeks the bully’s hooligan friends try to exact revenge, but each one is dispatched in similar fashion while the MC becomes aware of his hidden ability: the power to inflict pain with a thought. MC begins to abuse his power to become the boss of the school’s delinquents, giving him respect and the affection of his crush. Unfortunately for MC this power holds a draw back: the more he exercises this ability, the more pain and exhaustion haunt him always.

Mid show plot: BF (best friend) is estranged from MC, but can see that he is suffering and that he is walking down a familiar self-destructive path. BF is revealed to be the son of a yakuza member who was serious delinquent before middle school himself. He resolved to change his ways. As he did so he became overwhelmed by guilt for the terror he caused and for his affiliation to his father. When BF first met MC he felt BF felt his guilt become palpable. It was clear to him that this sensation was what drove others away from MC so BF was determined to befriend the loner both as penance and for redemption. In present day BF tries, but fails to reach out the MC and instead tries to find the source of MC’s guilt that he seems to always be radiating to those around him and that has now weaponized to rule the school.

Major reveal: BF finds MC’s home and discovers that MC only lives with his bedridden father. Father, who is drunk, reveals that MC’s mother passed away during labor. After further prying father reveals that he always blamed MC for her death and that he used to hate his son. The strange thing was, that over time he would feel immense pain when he mistreated MC until the point where he could no long work or function due to the pain. Father felt it was justice for how he had treated his son. BF sees the trend and begins to realize what MC’s real power is.

Climax: MC has eschewed school and fully embraced his role as a monster who only inflicts pain. He knows he cannot trust his subordinates because they all resent him. BF confronts the visibly miserable MC among his goons. BF challenges MC to a one-on-one fight to take ownership of the school. When asked what gives him the right to rule, he removes his shirt revealing a full-body Yakuza tattoo. MC’s followers accept it, in hopes of taking their territory back from him. In their fight MC tries to utilize his power, but realize he cannot harm his friend. BF quickly overpowers MC and reveals to MC what his true power is. It is the power to control sensations good or bad. BF reveals that, at first, he felt sick around MC because he rejects everyone around him, but eventually the feeling switched completely and he could physically feel MC’s love and appreciation. Seeing that the two made up, the bystanding goons attempted to use this moment of weakness to take the two lead characters out, but the duo quickly dispatched of the group.

Conclusion: MC realizes that he has been harboring guilt for his mom’s death and his father’s illness. He has a heartfelt conversation with his dad and forgives him and himself.

Comes with built in fujoshi pandering too.

A boy falls in love with a girl.
Unable to confess, he is gifted with by a deus ex machina with the girl’s phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.
But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day’s confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn’t exist in this universe at all. She is the girl’s alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC’s own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.
Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

Isekai type. MC is 20 year old student with hobby fighting with people, mostly on streets. Some crasy God from another world transfering him in fantasy for gigles and shit. MC doesn't have any way to return, cause he doesn't left world in first place. He is only copy real one, who still living like always and he knows it.

MC is REALLY pissed off about this situation. He hates world and his existence and by some way doesn't fuckin caress about others in this world at all - for him they is only dolls. He easily kils people without any question, spits on everything, fucking girls (mostly prostitute) with consent or not. Just really being as asshole, who only sirviving plot events by using violence and occasional help from this God. Main plot is him trying find reason for existense, mostly in retarded ways.

Add magic, swords, intrigue, girls, bros, monsters and other fantasy/video games shit and you got it.

We got pretty far into the thread before someone posted this. Good job Sup Forums.

An angel gets tired of life in heaven and secretly uses the gods' powers to get reincarnated as a human.
He lives a normal life with a loving mother, a fun father, a cute sister and good friends in a rural town. The town however, only has an elementary and middle school (or at least the japanese equivalent) so he has to move to the city when he hits high school age. Everything is intimidating at first, but he gets used to it and even makes new friends.
What he doesn't know is that the gods have noticed what he did and have disguised themselves as students to figure out which of the humans he is. Once they find him they drop their disguises, call for backup from heaven and declare war against him and humanity as a whole. because gods are over the top petty little shits
The MC is beyond confused since he has no memories of his previous life, yet he is mainly being targeted.
Humanity is not prepared in the slightest and everything goes to shit. Two years of war destroy cities, lives and families. Through seemingly sheer luck MC has managed to survive, he and his best friend join a group of rebels who have decided to take action instead of letting the army "protect" and fail them any longer.

Lots of fighting both with weapons and martial arts happens, some arguing in the rebel group and the members starting to fight each other, them realizing their mistake after killing one of their own, self doubt, MC finds his family dead but his sister is still alive and he gains a reason to fight again

end option 1: they actually kill several gods through anime bullshit, the other gods retreat, war ends
end option 2: MC is severely injured but not directly killed, best friend reluctantly puts him out of his misery, the main reason for the war is now dead and everything is fine again

"Oops, I Guess I Died!"

Shinda Niku was a Not-Quite-Ordinary High School Student: an eccentric, wrapped up in his own world, his attention split between reality and fantasy. These flaws became fatal when he jaywalked across a busy intersection--only to be splattered across the pavement by an equally impatient driver from Truck-Kun's Friendly Delivery Service. Having become a ghost as a sort of purgatorial second chance, Shinda has to decide what to do with his new "independence".

But being an incorporeal undead (CR 4) is more difficult than it seems. Without a body, Shinda must use sheer force of will to psychokinetically manipulate the world around him. Other lost souls haunt the world much like Shinda, and might not like the competition. Meanwhile, his school's Inquisition Club and the Spectral Investigation Company don't like the idea of the dead interfering with the living.

Will Shinda seek the light at the end of the tunnel? Will he remain on earth, forever haunting and being haunted by his past? Or are there worse tragedies to come? There's only one way to find out.

I can give a synopsis of the first story arc if you'd like.
