Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatari

Synopsis

In the world of Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatari, saenome are responsible for sealing tsukumogami—spirits that dwell within objects—when they become a danger to society. Most of these spirits are harmless, and saenome typically resolve matters through simple conversation. Hyouma Kunato, still traumatized by a brutal past encounter with a violent spirit, rejects peaceful methods and attacks every tsukumogami he meets. His grandfather Zouhei, who views Hyouma as a potential clan leader, disapproves of this approach and gives him an ultimatum: live with Botan Nagatsuki, a girl whose home harbors six tsukumogami, or face expulsion from the clan. Driven by a desire for vengeance against the spirit that ruined his life, Hyouma grudgingly accepts Zouhei's arrangement. As mysterious malevolent forces begin disrupting the balance between worlds, Hyouma must gain Botan's trust and overcome his hostility toward her unusual family.
