The Psychic Girl-Boy and the Kotodama Boy-Girl

Reiko, a middle school girl, is a powerful psychic.She has solved countless supernatural cases and learned how to navigate the adult world at a young age.However, she hides a serious secret.In truth, she is a boy named Reiji.Using her psychic abilities, she disguises her gender and lives her daily life as a girl. One day, a transfer student named Tamako arrives at Reiko’s school.Tamako claims to be a Kotodama user—someone who can see the curses hidden within words.Yet Reiko’s psychic senses detect no spiritual power from her at all.At first, Reiko suspects that Tamako is an ordinary girl pretending to have abilities. But Tamako’s power is real—just different. She can see the cursed words that bind human beings.Not the words of ghosts or spirits, but ordinary phrases spoken casually in everyday life: “You’re not popular, are you?”“You’re the eldest daughter, right?”“Even an elementary school kid could do that.” Because these words are mundane and human, they carry no spiritual energy—and thus escape psychic detection. Through a mysterious transformation, Tamako becomes Tamata, and Reiko’s secret begins to unravel.Together, the two step into the hidden darkness of human society, confronting the invisible curses born from language itself.
