Description
Twenty-four-year-old Minato Kusunoki is asked to manage a remote countryside house that a distant relative built and then abandoned. The property has sat empty for two years and is swarming with malevolent spirits, yet the moment Minato steps inside, the evil presence vanishes without his even noticing. He possesses an innate, unconscious ability to purify any space he enters, and his ordinary handwriting, whether on shopping lists or sticky notes, carries the force of a powerful exorcism talisman. Once the house is cleansed, its calm and welcoming atmosphere begins to attract deities and spiritual beasts from the surrounding area.
The first to appear is Yamagami, a wolf-like mountain god who had been weakened by the encroaching darkness. Delighted by the purified residence, he decides to stay and quickly becomes Minato’s closest companion. Yamagami summons three marten spirits named Seri, Torika, and Utsugi to act as his attendants, and they all settle into the house alongside Minato. Soon after, other legendary beings arrive: Reiki, a wise turtle and one of the Four Heavenly Beasts of luck; the wind god Fujin and the thunder god Raijin; and eventually the remaining divine beasts Phoenix, Kirin, and Ouryuu. Each deity is drawn by the sanctuary that the Kusunoki residence has become, and they coexist with Minato in a warm, domestic rhythm.
The story follows Minato’s daily life as he tends the garden, cooks meals, and shares sweets and sake with his supernatural housemates. He never seeks power or recognition, but his ability quietly draws the attention of the human spiritual world. Saiga Harima, a highly skilled onmyoji from a long line of exorcists, witnesses Minato effortlessly dispel a spirit that three professionals could barely handle. Astounded, Harima begins to seek Minato’s help, offering payment for the talismans that are no more than scraps of Minato’s handwriting. This brings Minato into contact with professional exorcist organizations, some of whom admire his talent while others fear it and scheme against him. Meanwhile, the growing concentration of divine energy around the Kusunoki residence hints at a deeper mystery regarding Minato’s true nature and the origin of his power.
The narrative unfolds in a gentle, episodic fashion, alternating between heartwarming slice-of-life moments with the gods and the slow-burning intrigue of the spiritual underworld that is taking notice of Minato. No dramatic battles define the story, but there is a quiet undercurrent of tension as Minato’s role as a bridge between the human and divine worlds becomes increasingly significant.
