For English-speaking manga enthusiasts, Seven Seas is your go-to source for the manga adaptation. The story delves into a world where spirits transcend into the human realm, inhabiting ancient objects to take on physical forms known as tsukumogami.
The Saenome clan plays a vital role in aiding these spirits’ return to the supernatural realm, averting potential havoc. However, Kunato Hyouma, a clan member, harbors deep-seated anger stemming from a past tsukumogami encounter.
Fearing the consequences of Hyouma’s impulsive actions, his grandfather sends him to live in Kyoto with Nagatsuki Botan, a peculiar young woman who shares her life with tsukumogami as if they were family. Can Hyouma conquer his inner turmoil when dealing with these spirits, or will he forever be haunted by his own raging spirit?
