When she was still just a girl, Kotoko was kidnapped by yokai. These spirits made her into a powerful intermediary between the spirit and human worlds, but this power came at a price: an eye and a leg. Now, years later, she watches out for dangerous yokai while developing feelings for a young man named Kurou, who is also special: an incident with a yokai has given him healing powers. He's surprised when Kotoko asks him to team up to handle renegade yokai, preserving the thin line between reality and the supernatural.

An unique series that starts as a conversation between the MC's introducing us to the setting of our story. The story is usually led by the MC acquainting us to the reality that needs to be overturned and a stretch is made to include the male supporting character. We are introduced to the fact that the female MC is romantically interested in the male supporting character, quite explicitly in fact. The series itself could have been a monologue most of what occurs and the basis for it is fantastical just so there can be a story.

I'm mostly okay with a wall of narration, but this one is a big offender at repeating the same idea again and again, rephrased. And I totally want to love this series, since there're some great little aspect here and there. Great characters, but there isn't much variety in the first place. Nice romcom, pretty heartwarming, but bad at anything else.

I like supernatural stories a lot. Occasionally I also like detective stories. It was nice to get a new mix of both since I haven't found that many of them yet.
The animation is great and the character design is beautiful. You get to see hot boys and adorable and beautiful girls.The best part of the anime was the interaction between the MCs which was cheeky and adorable.
The cases were interesting even though the deductions were very hypothetical and detailed and were dragging on a bit.
All in all it was a nice entertainment.

This follows duo MCs solving mysteries with supernatural abilities and spirits. The characters meshed well together and the facial expressions were good. The biggest drawback is that this can go very slow at times, this anime could've benefited from being half episodes to make the pacing better. Overall, if you're looking for looking for some mystery with good amounts of dialogue, check this out.

It is just ok, somewhat engaging after the first episode, but story is thin and slow, over half of the season is talking about a single story.

Hypothetically if you're into this type of genre it's quite enjoyable.
Interesting premise of Asian folklore that blends with investigative work in the supernatural and mystery setting. Story involves a lot of hypothetical deduction to the mystery, before coming to the real conclusion. It's done in a easy to follow way and yet provides surprises and intriguing enough to kept me watching.
Aside from that, it's also sprinkled with a cute tongue in cheek chemistry between FL and ML rom(com); smart chats with hints of teases. That along with the pretty good animation works does really make the couple adorable and the whole series a rather enjoyable watch.
All in nothing too ground breaking, but is a cute little show that I enjoyed following. The hypothesizing part maybe a bit overrun at some part; so for fans of mystery and those that enjoy the likes of such, or maybe you are in some Asian folklore. For me 7/10. won't mind a S2.

This one could have been really good. The premise was hooking and both main leads appeared interesting at first. Animation and voice acting were decent, complete with a dark, night city setting and vibe. However, right from the second episode, it became clear that the anime was just going to focus on exposition, and I mean tons, and tons, of exposition. Entire episodes were spent just on the female lead literally telling the story, with little to no action involved. The last four episodes were pure exposition galore. This imbalance between storytelling and action made the anime generally unexciting, boring and repetitive. I also found the female lead to be somewhat annoying at times, but that's a personal preference anyway. In short, I didn't quite enjoy this one.
However, I know there are many fans out there who like this technique on mystery animes, and I respect that, it just wasn't for me. So is recommended for yokai mystery fans who value storytelling over action.

17-20, female, , amputeeAmputation is the removal of a limb by trauma, medical illness, or surgery., cleverA clever or smart person is generally understood as having broad knowledge and the sharpness of mind required to put that knowledge to good use, especially when applying rational thought to long-reaching decisions, with the broad knowledge leaning more on the smart side and the sharp mind on the clever side. Unlike a genius, the clever person may be skilled, but only mundanely so, and in contrast to a cunning person, a clever person is not characterized by being sly or apt at surreptitiousness., crippledA person that is partially or totally unable to use one or more limbs, for example a lame., fair skinFair skin is a naturally occurring range of skin colour that is lighter than the average for humans, but not light enough to be considered white. Ethnically speaking, a reasonable real life metric for fair skin is the skin colour of people normally said to be "white"., ruthlessThis character will stop at nothing to achieve their goals and will be unbound by any constraints, shoulder-length hairShoulder-length hair is hair at shoulder length, within a few centimetres margin. This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair., small breastsSmall breasts (flat chested) are breasts that would be considered below the average size for real life medium breasts., yellow hairThe character has yellow hair. This does not map precisely to real-life blond hair.

Terrestrial animals, humans are characterized by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; larger, more complex brains than other animals; and highly advanced and organized societies., immortalityImmortality is the ability to live for an infinite or inconceivably vast length of time. Humans, whose life span is limited, have long sought ways to extend their lives. In fiction, immortals are not quite as uncommon as in real life, and the possible implications of endless or very long lives are often explored. While many may wish for immortality, it may be little more than a curse for the few who have it., JapaneseA character originating from the island nation of Japan., precognitionThe ability to see into the future. This can manifest as prophetic visions or could be more prosaic, such as the ability to see future events by means of some divinatory devices such as tarot cards or astrology, but such divination should be accurate., regenerationRegeneration is a supernatural ability to repair great extents of damage incurred as a result of, for example, combat or accidents, and generally to do so fairly quickly. This may include, for example, the replacement of destroyed limbs and organs in a matter of minutes or less. It is not to be confused with the slow, limited, natural damage repair ability that most living organisms have, which does not provide for replacement of limbs and organs, quick or otherwise., yellow eyesThis character has yellow eyes.
