While most conversations do not go in-depth, they do offer clues about the dangers thatlie in Momo and Okarun’s path. Jin’s confession that he has been haunted by an evil spirit, and several exorcism attempts have led to the suicide of the spirit mediums involved, paint a terrifying picture of the enemy the deuteragonist is about to face.
As if that is not scary enough, Enjoji’s landlords appear to keep a close eye on his family and seem to be involved in shady practices. With the discovery of a secret room in the house, season 1 ends on a cliffhanger, leaving fans with a ton of questions.
