Synopsis
Kotoko Iwanaga, a quick-witted 17 year old girl, acts as the mediator of all sorts of yokai. Using her skill for creating rational fiction she quells supernatural calamities before they can reach humankind, maintaining the fragile peace between the two races.
At a local hospital, our spitfire of a main character meets Kurou Sakuragawa, a seemingly ordinary young man who had recently broken up with his fiancé. She immediately confesses her love for the young man and is rejected just as quickly. But there is more to Kurou than even Kotoko could’ve ever imagined.

Notes
I love the premise of the show and the animation is spectacular! The main characters themselves were quite interesting too.
But the progression of the story felt very rushed. And the world building could’ve been worked on a lot more. You kind of just find out random tid bits of information now and then about how a 17 year old kid is flying around the world on her own solving problems. And the climax of the main conflict fell a little flat for me.
The best part of this anime is definitely Kotoko who is kind of the perfect balance between a teenage girl and the ‘wisdom of the yokai’ that she’s supposed to embody. The animation (especially with the action scenes) were very nice! And Kurou was a pretty fun character to understand (He comes off super aloof, but you later realise why that is and it’s a whole ‘holy heck that makes total sense’ moment).
Overall, it’s a fun one-time watch!
PS: I have not read the manga fully yet as it is ongoing, but the art of what I did read was gorgeous! Check that out for better continuity and world building.
