Synopsis:

In a world where spirits inhabit everyday objects, the Saenome clan are tasked with peacefully resolving conflicts arising from these entities known as tsukumogami. Hyouma Kunato, however, carries a deep-seated aversion to these beings stemming from a past tragedy, favoring forceful suppression over the clan’s traditional methods of negotiation. To remain within the clan, Hyouma is sent to reside with Botan Nagatsuki and her family – a household comprised entirely of tsukumogami.

Forced into this unconventional living arrangement, Hyouma must confront his prejudice while working alongside Botan to investigate a growing disturbance in the spiritual realm. As malevolent forces begin to disrupt the delicate balance between worlds, he’s compelled to reconcile with his past and learn to trust those he once viewed as threats. The series explores themes of prejudice, acceptance, and finding harmony in a world where the boundaries between the living and the spectral are blurred.
