Franchise Background
Authored by Kenichi Kondo, the original manga began its serialization in Shueisha’s Jump Square magazine in March 2019. The first television anime adaptation produced by OLM aired for 25 consecutive episodes throughout the Summer and Fall 2023 anime seasons.
Keitaro is ready to stop living as a shut-in. He’s starting university. He’s reconnecting with his childhood friend. He’s taking a tutoring job. And he’s not messing around with ghosts anymore. At least that’s what he thinks, until he finds out the elementary schooler he’s tutoring is an occult-obsessed genius who’s hunting down dangerous spirits and won’t stop until she’s found the one that took her mom!
