Synopsis:

Set in a vibrant, modern-day Japan subtly interwoven with ancient mythology, this series follows a group of young individuals unexpectedly thrust into roles as protectors against supernatural disturbances. The narrative centers on their everyday lives navigating school and personal relationships while simultaneously dealing with increasingly bizarre and often humorous paranormal events. The characters are relatable, grappling with their newfound responsibilities and the weight of their inherited powers.

The series blends lighthearted comedic situations with moments of genuine emotional depth as they learn to work together and confront both external threats and internal struggles. It explores themes of responsibility, friendship, and finding purpose amidst the ordinary, presented with a unique blend of action and slice-of-life elements. Expect a focus on character development and the subtle mysteries surrounding their origins, rather than grand, overarching conflicts.
