About Fear Newspaper
Onoda Shizuru is a university student in Kyoto. As soon as she starts living out her long cherished desire, the strange horror newspapers begin to arrive.

Murders, accidents, abuse, natural disasters, injustice... these newspapers predict all sorts of tragedies. What is the truth behind them?
Directed by Jirō Tsunoda, Fear Newspaper leans on a strong ensemble — Sei Shiraishi, Hitomi Kuroki, Taiki Sato — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 2020.
