With summer coming to an end sooner than later, there's no better time to squeeze in a few fun, breezy anime -- especially ones about yokai.
, the anime follows the story of Nanami, who unwittingly ends up as the earth god at a local shrine after wandering around homeless. She must work together with her new familiar Tomoe and learn to navigate her changing circumstances and responsibilities. It’s not a cakewalk by any means, and there’s a whole cast of rather odd characters waiting to help and hinder the new land god and her familiar.is refreshingly low stakes — despite dealing with gods.
Right from the get-go, we sympathize with Aoi, who was abandoned by her parents when she was young, has now lost her grandfather, and to top it all off, can see weird spirits that most people cannot. If you don’t feel for her before she gets kidnapped, you certainly will afterwards. Aoi is a refreshing heroine who does embody a lot of classic tropes but is also a new take on them.
The historical basis of the series sent me down an interesting rabbit hole, as did the concept of tsukumogami themselves. It’s an intriguing take on the common subject of spirits and yokai, and something I’d love to see explored further. Okou and Seiji are a cute duo and the spirits that all reside at the shop have varied, interesting personalities that clash and complement each other, keeping the character interactions from being boring.
