* THIS STORY IS MADE BY TWO PEOPLE

Kanato Izumi is the son of the owner of Sumairu Theatre in Tokyo, Japan. He loved watching every performance the theatre hosted and decided to perform on the stage too. However, he messed up his performances by stuttering and accidentally skipping dialogue. He quit performing and went back to his daily life, discouraged.

The theatre starts going downhill as more and more customers stop visiting and more performers quit. Kanato's father decides to host one last performance before closing down the theatre. Around that time, Kanato's older sister passes away due to an illness. She was an aspiring performer who wanted to put a smile on everyone's faces. Kanato took up her goal and decided to complete it for her, so he performed in Sumairu Theatre's last performance.

 Akemi's family, a big fan of theatres, visits Sumairu Theatre to witness its last musical. Akemi, who is Kanato's classmate, is astonished by his excellent acting and singing skills and meets up with him at their school. She tells him that she'd do anything to reopen the theatre just so she could see him perform again.

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
