Momo Ayase, a high school student obsessed with actor Ken Takakura, befriends a nerdy boy she nicknames Okarun (instead of his actual name, Ken Takakura) who mistakes her kindness for a shared obsession with paranormal phenomena; while she believes in spirits, he believes in aliens, and they send each other to notorious places to prove their respective interests. At abandoned Negi Hospital, Momo is abducted by the extraterrestrial Serpoians; meanwhile, Okarun is cursed by Turbo Granny, a yōkai who has joined with a bound spirit and takes his penis. After rescuing each other, Momo uses her newly awakened psychokinetic power to suppress Okarun's curse, which gives him a depressed demon form with Turbo Granny's powers. Returning to the shrine she shares with her granny, Momo and Okarun battle the Flatwoods monster. When Momo's grandmother Seiko, aka disreputable spirit medium Santa Dodoria, returns and saves Momo from Okarun, she coaches the teens how to defeat Turbo Granny. Momo challenges Turbo Granny to a race and tricks her into sending her full spirit into Okarun; the bound spirit awakens and begins to pursue them as an immense freshwater crab.

However, Turbo Granny lost them after changing them to golden balls (kintama); fellow student Aira Shiratori picked up a kintama by accident, awakening her spiritual power, and Aira mistakes Momo as a devil. However, Aira's awakening also makes her visible to the Acrobatic Silky yōkai, who proceeds to swallow Okarun, Aira, and Momo; Momo burns her from inside, setting the trio free.

After sharing a meal together, Aira insists Momo is a demon and vows to break Momo's hold on Okarun. At school, Momo catches Okarun and Aira in a compromising posture, which occurred after Aira confessed her feelings to him because of her romantically awkward notions. The Serpoians return, flooding the school to aid their mercenaries: two aliens similar to a plesiosaur and a mantis shrimp. All three humans fight ineffectively on their own, even after Aira and Okarun draw on their yōkai powers as the Silky and Turbo Granny, respectively. Okarun is stripped naked and the Serpoians attempt to harvest his sex organs. Momo finds an effective teamwork strategy, but the Serpoians, having tired of their gig workers' incompetence, have merged into a single aquatic monster.

That night, Momo answers the door to find her childhood friend and first love, Jin Enjoji (Jiji), who has come to live with them while his parents are hospitalized. Once Jiji began to see spirits, his parents became sick; after multiple failed exorcisms, he was directed to contact Seiko, which she delegates to Momo. At school, Jiji is popular and Momo banters with him, making Okarun feel lonely. When an anatomical model runs by and Momo spots what they think is a kintama, they catch the model, named Taro, and reunite him with his love, a female anatomical torso named Hana. Taro's declaration of love gives Okarun the courage to fight for Momo. Okarun, Jiji, and Momo travel to Jiji's cursed house.

On the way back to the house, Momo visits the Tsuchinoko shrine and meets the priest, who relates a local legend: historically, villagers sacrificed children to pacify a giant snake, which kept a volcano quiescent; the Kito family attempt to sacrifice the trio at the house, which was built on the site of the ancient altar. Falling into a pit below the house, they spot the creature, which Turbo Granny realizes is a Mongolian death worm. Driven by its psychic energy, Okarun and Momo keep trying to hurt themselves; they resume normal thoughts in the presence of Jiji's spirit, which he learns was one of the sacrificed children. The spirit hates the Kito family; sympathizing with its loneliness, Jiji welcomes it inside himself, but it is an Evil Eye yōkai, untrustworthy and violent to humans.

When Rokuro learns Okarun's nut was taken, he realizes the 'globalist' alien invaders are an advance party which intend to use its power to bring their main force to Earth in five days.

Class rep Rin Sawaki approaches Okarun and collapses under the weight of an ombusman yōkai; after she picked up the other missing kintama and turned it in to a kōban (police box), she began seeing spirits. The ombusman is Mai Kawabanga, Rin's childhood friend who shared a dream to become a junior idol before dying in a car crash. Seiko's remedy involves the Hayashi band and a dansha parade float; they fight through waves of animated Ninomiya Sontoku statues and Rin takes over for the lead singer after he is incapacitated, belting out an emotional song. Mai returns and they tearfully forgive each other; although not dispelled completely, Mai becomes a guardian spirit. Momo and Okarun convince Turbo Granny to help infiltrate the kōban, operated by humorless Officer Bega "the Demon", to learn who picked up the missing kintama.

Turbo Granny fails to obtain any information, but they are helped by Rokuro, exiled as a defective clone; after a brief fight with Bega, he learns the missing kintama was picked up by Unji Zuma, a student at Renjaku, a local high school infamous for its delinquent students. A street gang from Renjaku tell Momo and Okarun that Zuma entered a detailed diorama filled with monsters a week ago; Zuma vowed to defeat the diorama-world using the power of the kintama. Momo inadvertently falls into the diorama-world, which is a board game named Danmanra. Although her telekinesis is disabled in Danmanra, she meets Zuma, who can use oil-paper umbrella-based yōkai powers when he holds the kintama. Zuma defeats a powerful knight boss but then loses the kintama and works with Momo to retrieve it, moving through an obstacle course guarded by frog shikigami. They are forced to play the color demon [ja] variant of tag, which requires them to touch the food announced by a massive chef boss.

Since Zuma exhausted his powers while fighting the knight boss, after retrieving the kintama, he passes it to Momo, who takes down the chef; they are awarded the Nom Nom Bongo (Death Pâtissier) game card, similar to a Pokémon card, which grants them powers from eating treats. Checking their pockets, they also have a Carmine (Dark Knight) card from the earlier fight, and realize they must defeat four bosses in total. After beating the next, Rock-hard Costinus (Medusa), they rest at an inn to prepare for their final challenge, which is to defeat an army guarding a castle and destroy the crystal within; the game uses a rock paper scissors scheme to determine weaknesses between four types of soldiers in the army. Okarun returns to the diorama with Rin and Turbo Granny while being pursued by Officer Bega. The street gang bursts into the diorama world, saving Momo and Zuma from defeat, and when that pair enter the castle, Okarun arrives, yelling not to break the crystal, but too late, as Zuma slices it in half.
