Synopsis:

In a world interwoven with spectral entities, the profession of Ghost Sweeper offers a practical solution to managing unwanted hauntings. The series follows Reiko Mikami, a highly skilled and respected practitioner in this field, as she undertakes investigations across Japan. Her latest assignment leads her to Jinkotsu Hot Spring, accompanied by an unconventional team: Tadao Yokoshima, a student assisting with a penchant for humor, and Kinu Himuro, a benevolent ghost with a unique perspective on the living world.

The narrative blends paranormal investigation with slice-of-life elements, exploring the everyday challenges faced by these individuals as they navigate both the supernatural and interpersonal dynamics. Expect a balance of eerie encounters and lighthearted moments, examining themes of duty, camaraderie, and the complexities of coexisting with the unseen. The anime offers a thoughtful portrayal of a specialized profession within a world where the boundaries between realms are blurred.
