Utsuranain desu (写らナイんです; lit. 'It Doesn't Show Up') is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Ruka Konoshima. It has been serialized in Shogakukan's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Sunday since March 2024.

Plot

First-year student Michiru Tachibana (橘 みちる, Tachibana Michiru) has been fascinated by paranormal phenomena and the occult since childhood. However, despite her enthusiasm, she possesses no spiritual sensitivity and instead has an involuntary exorcism ability, which causes her to inadvertently dispel nearby spirits whenever she attempts to capture them in photographs. When Makoto Kurokiri (黒桐 まこと, Kurokiri Makoto), a mysterious and withdrawn transfer student, joins Michiru's class, she hears disturbing rumors about him and invites him to join the Occult Club. He initially refuses, but it is later revealed that Makoto suffers from an extreme spirit-attracting constitution, causing him to unconsciously draw in malevolent supernatural entities since childhood. This ability has led to his isolation and loneliness. After Michiru unknowingly exorcises a dog spirit haunting Makoto, as well as several other surrounding apparitions, Makoto begins to see her as someone who can free him from his torment. Wanting to befriend her, he decides to join the Occult Club, setting the stage for their further supernatural investigations.
