Synopsis:

Hozuki, a seasoned demon official, finds himself unexpectedly assigned to the Bureau of Japanese Visitors in the afterlife. Tasked with managing the endless stream of souls arriving in the spirit world, he navigates a surprisingly complex and often absurd bureaucracy. The series unfolds within a vibrant, otherworldly setting populated by a diverse cast of deceased individuals grappling with their transitions.

Hozuki’s detached demeanor and pragmatic approach offer a contrasting perspective to the emotional turmoil of those newly arrived. He strives to maintain order amidst the chaos, highlighting themes of responsibility, acceptance, and finding peace even in the most unusual circumstances. The anime blends gentle humor with moments of thoughtful reflection on life, death, and the enduring human condition within an imaginative supernatural framework. It provides a unique glimpse into the mechanics of the afterlife, framed through the eyes of a weary but capable administrator.
