Sayako Amanokawa (天の川 清子, Amanokawa Sayako) is a 17-year-old sophomore at an all-girls high school. She aspires to become a journalist, like her father's late friend Tokuzo Kanemoto.
The plot is based around a prior event in which Kanemoto was shamed for publishing a false report. As a result, he committed suicide by jumping in front of a train.
After Kanemoto's death, Sayako develops the ability to see and interact with spirits. In one interaction, a spirit attempts to push her in front of a train and Sayako nearly dies.
The near-death experience awakens something in her. She becomes intent on understanding what really happened with Kanemoto and embarks on a quest to find answers. She is joined by Yuki Unabara, her best friend, Taiyou Sorano, a mysterious young man who possesses special powers; Mari Kimura, a young woman who works for the local news station; Harry Badson, an Australian-American spiritualist; and Shunta Amanokawa, an elementary school student and Sayako's younger brother; to find answers and discover the true identity of the mysterious "Buddha".
