NHK's official website announced on Monday that Megumi Hatakenaka's Tsukumogami Kashimasu (Rental Tsukumogami) novel will receive an anime series.
The manga is set during the Edo period, in the Fukagawa district of old Edo (present-day Tokyo). Because the area is prone to fires and floods, the residents rent everyday items such as pots, futons, and clothing from shops instead of buying them, so as not to be burdened during emergencies. Obeni and Seiji, an older sister and younger brother, run such a rental business called Izumoya. Mixed in with their inventory, however, are Tsukumogami—objects that have turned into spirits after a hundred years of existence. The siblings sometimes rent out these sentient items to customers. Both Obeni and Seiji can see and speak with these spirits.
