LatestWhen Haruitsuki arrived at a shrine, Hanae is possessed by a spider-like yôkai Sasa. She has been sealed by Sakae, that's why she gets mad at Haruitsuki for having golden eyes and golden hair just like him.
Ashiya has spent the first seven days of high school stuck in the infirmary because of a youkai attaching itself to him. He ends up asking the owner of a small tea room called the "Mononokean" for help. This is a tale involving the very morose owner of Mononokean guiding the youkai that happened to wander into this world go to the next world.
Writing
Youkai stories hit harder than expected—packs emotional punches quietly.
Acting
Maeno's deadpan delivery as Abeno is comedic gold.
Production
The Underworld aesthetic: surprisingly lush for a small show.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The manga author Kiri Wazawa originally published this as a webcomic before magazine serialization. The anime compresses several early chapters.
The youkai designs draw heavily from Tsukumogami folklore—objects gaining spirits after 100 years—which explains why so many cases involve forgotten items.
The title 'Morose' specifically refers to Abeno's emotional state post-Akai's fate, not general grumpiness—a nuance lost in translation.
