Season 1 • Episode 13
LatestWhile Juri reconcile with her sister, Akina confronts Enjin, and learns the true reason for his grudge on the city and gets himself in a pinch when the enemy shows a glimpse of his true powers.
Hundreds of years ago, the borders between the worlds of humans and youkai temporarily overlapped, resulting in many residents of both crossing over to the other side. In the years since this event, the city of Sakurashin has become a central hub for all inter-dimensional affairs—a result of both the sacred Seven Pillars around the city serving as a beacon for the youkai, and the efforts of the Hiizumi Life Counseling Office in keeping the townsfolk happy. This office is composed of Hime Yarizakura, the young mayor of the city; satori Ao Nanami, who can read people's minds; half-youkai Kotoha Isone, who can summon anything by speaking a word; oni siblings, Kyousuke and Touka Kishi; and the office director Akina Hiizumi, who inherited his family's ability to force youkai back to their world.
Writing
Genre whiplash executed with surprising emotional coherence.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tatsunoko Production animated this as a soft reboot, deliberately ignoring the 2008 adaptation's events to follow the manga more faithfully.
The youkai designs pull heavily from Toriyama Sekien's Edo-period illustrated bestiary, grounding the supernatural chaos in actual Japanese folklore tradition.
