In a modern-day painting class, you meet... Van Gogh's ghost! The story of painting and adolescence begins! Goho Aoshima is an ordinary first-year high school student with no special qualities. He is ordinary looking, athletically inept, and has no friends. When he confesses his feelings to a girl, he is promptly rejected, and just when he thinks he's lost his chance, the man of his dreams comes! The girl he fell in love with at first sight attracted him to her, and he stepped into a painting class. There he meets a mysterious ghost who calls himself "Van Gogh"...? A new story begins with "Van Gogh's" uncle and me!

Sayoko is an incredibly kind, but solitary, young kimono-clad lady who has certain supernatural abilities. She can see ghosts, and she frees them from their places of death by agreeing to let them haunt her instead. As a result, everywhere she goes, she is followed by an army of well-meaning spirits that only she can see. Her weirdness tends to throw any normal people who would have otherwise possibly become her friends. Inaba is a poor college student who accidentally ran over her with his bicycle.

Tsumaki is the head private investigator of the "Aa Detective Agency" (the only person there actually) that is obviously listed on the first line of the phone book. Tsumaki, who is an intense fan of Sherlock Holmes, with the support from his "Watson" Miss Ryouko (basically just a helper), goes out to solve cases with his multiple talents and original insight!
