Ima Monogatari" is a supernatural comedy anime that revolves around the lives of seven eccentric ayakashi, or supernatural beings, who reside in a modern-day Japanese town.

The series explores their daily misadventures as they navigate human society while attempting to conceal their true identities.

The central premise involves the ayakashi forming a makeshift family under the leadership of Kappa no Kawatarō, a mischievous yet good-natured kappa.

The narrative is episodic, with each episode focusing on the ayakashi’s attempts to adapt to human life while dealing with their own quirks and the challenges posed by their supernatural nature. Themes of camaraderie, identity, and the clash between tradition and modernity are woven into the comedic scenarios. The series balances slapstick humor with moments of heartfelt connection, highlighting the ayakashi’s growth as they learn to coexist with humans and each other. The interplay between the characters’ distinct personalities drives much of the humor and drama, creating a dynamic and engaging storyline.
