Of course, Kisaragi Academy stands where Heavenly Host once was. ![]() The anime begins with a group of high school students at Kisaragi Academy sitting in a dark classroom as one of them tells a scary, but allegedly true, story about the terror at Heavenly Host Elementary School: A teacher died and the principal committed suicide. I simply read that this OVA was incredibly disturbing, decided to watch, and have concluded that reviewers are correct – this show is incredibly disturbing.
