インテリビレッジの座敷童
In a world where rural communities are rebuilt as high-tech "Intellectual Villages," the traditional and the futuristic coexist. These villages, designed with cutting-edge technology, attract Japanese monsters known as Youkai. High school student Jinnai Shinobu lives in one such village, where his family home is also inhabited by a Zashiki Warashi, a household spirit that brings good fortune.
Shinobu has a knack for encountering Youkai with an unnerving frequency, a talent that drags him into trouble. From mischievous spirits to more dangerous supernatural beings, his daily life is a constant series of strange and chaotic events. Navigating school and adolescence is hard enough without the added complication of the supernatural, and Shinobu often finds himself caught between the human world and the world of the Youkai.
As he deals with the spirit at home and the various monsters that wander into his life, the line between peaceful village life and the hidden world of the Youkai blurs, forcing him to manage the chaos that follows him.
