It's rough going losing your parents at a young age, but Himari Momochi isn't the type to dwell on the negative, not when she apparently has one last inheritance from her family, and it's a spacious mansion at that
!
Of course in typical anime fashion she shows up at her new home and stumbles into a hot buck-naked guy and two other dudes (voiced by a who's who of Pretty Boy seiyuu like Takeo Otsuka, Shinnosuke Tachibana, and Yuki Ono) and they mutually see each other as burglars breaking into their home. What a first meeting
!
The OP is pretty rocking and dynamic, featuring Himari, Aoi, and the rest of the Ayakashi together and in their daily life, along with Himari's classmates, Nue battling an evil Ayakashi, and Himari and Aoi's romance
!
So Himari has a will that gives her ownership of the house, but the three tenants Aoi, Yukari, and Ise, aren't quite so convinced and don't think she has any business being there...but Himari isn't about to get kicked out of her new home and the last thing she has left connecting her to her family, even if she has to tough it out there. At least Aoi seems nice
.
Definitely some supernatural shenanigans going on in this house! Hard to get a good nights sleep, but that's not about to stop Himari! Even if she's still acclimating to her situation and isn't quite as on the ball as Yukari
.
Uh oh! Supernatural glob alert! Though it seems like Himari has some power over the house and is able to make the Ayakashi frightening her leave. She just happened to take ownership over a house home to all manner of Ayakashi and spirits, up to and including Yukari and Ise...and there's definitely more to Aoi than they're telling
.
Himari's never had a real family so watching the trio get along and be close makes her yearn to be part of that connection, which makes it hurt all the more when Aoi still doesn't want her there. And it's even worse timing to find out that there are evil Ayakashi that want your blood
!
As far as first kisses go, having the guy you saw naked the prior day kiss the evil miasma out of you isn't half-bad
.
So Aoi is actually the Nue, the Omamori-sama and true head of Momochi house, and compared to Aoi Nue is far more serious, vicious, and commanding, ordering his Shikigami around and showing no mercy to any enemy Ayakashi. And of course he's a white kitsune type
.
Is Aoi connected to Himari and her parents? It seems like he was immediately acting close to her and talking like it was his duty to protect her beyond his role as Nue
.
All this would be a lot for any girl to take in, but Himari isn't about to let that stop her! She's sticking around and making a place for herself in her family home...and she's ready to collect rent from the three who have been freeloading in her house. Maybe she can give them a discount for the kiss and the whole rescuing her thing
?
The ED is pretty nice with a sprawling animation of the entire cast looking very pretty and colorful
