notes

Coban Kato is a high school student with no family, no friends, no money, and little presence. The only thing Coban has is the ability to “teleport,” which allows him to disappear, when everyone ignores his existence. “Teleporting,” however, is useless for Coban since he becomes naked whenever he teleports. Coban’s ability is simply a representation of his loneliness.
One day, when Coban teleports after being kicked out of the house, he encounters a woman named Sheena. Sheena, who also has no place to stay, is interested in Coban’s ability, so that she can take advantage of it. Coban and Sheena, who have no place to go, start surviving together.
Meanwhile, the town livens up after “a white Kappa” (an imaginary Japanese creature) is caught on a security camera while walking around in a supermarket. When members of the community hear about the white Kappa, they try to revitalize the town by offering monetary rewards for the capture of the Kappa.
