“Ancient spirits. Everyday problems.”
A smug, silver-tongued fox demon and a booming, stoic dragon spirit navigate the mundane inconveniences of life in ancient, mythic Japan — proving that even immortal beings struggle with everyday errands and hobbies. An episodic, comedic slice-of-life adventure where immortal spirits tackle everyday tasks. From fishing for legendary koi to assembling furniture or dealing with aggressive geese, their day-to-day routines are anything but ordinary. Epic beasts roam the landscapes, while lively markets, quirky spirits, and normal weather keep life interesting.
