Synopsis:

The narrative follows Shinichirou Asano, a high school student struggling with financial hardship after being abandoned by his parents. His life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Sakuya Shimazu, a student with a hidden past and a lineage tied to monster exorcism. Following an incident involving a nekomata – a creature of folklore – Shinichirou is drawn into the world of supernatural threats.

Sakuya seeks his assistance in resolving the situation, leading to an unconventional arrangement: Shinichirou becomes a housekeeper for the Shimazu family. The series explores themes of responsibility, duty, and navigating extraordinary circumstances within an everyday setting. It blends elements of slice-of-life with fantastical encounters, portraying a unique dynamic between a seemingly ordinary young man and those dedicated to protecting humanity from the unseen world.
