"I won't die — because I've been banned from the afterlife." This is the peculiar situation at the heart of Dekin no Mogura: The Earthbound Mole, a supernatural tale set in a world where the boundary between the living and the dead is more complicated than it seems. Momoyuki Mogura is a self-styled hermit with a shady reputation, forced to wander the mortal realm indefinitely after a mysterious incident got him barred from crossing over to the other side. Rather than accepting his strange fate quietly, he roams with a lantern in hand, gathering spirit-possessed will-o'-wisps in hopes of somehow earning his way back to the afterlife. What makes his wandering even stranger is the effect he has on those around him — anyone who happens to cross paths with Momoyuki Mogura soon finds themselves witnessing inexplicable and eerie phenomena. His very presence seems to pull the ordinary world toward something far more uncanny.
