This set contains the first twelve episodes of the series on two Blu-ray and DVD discs. Note that the Shiki specials are included in the next part (Part 2) so it's only the episodes for this set.

After supposedly visiting this strange family, the fashionable Shimizu Megumi goes missing and the entire village goes out in search for her.
