The anime adaptation by studio Brain's Base captures the dense, dialogue-heavy nature of Shirodaira’s writing while maintaining a vibrant visual palette. Voice actors Akari Kito (Kotoko) and Mamoru Miyano (Kuro) deliver exceptional performances, carrying episodes that often take place in a single room or car, driven entirely by exposition and debate. The contrast between Kuro's gruesome, casual deaths and Kotoko's energetic, sometimes crass demeanor keeps the dense narrative engaging. Conclusion
The story revolves around , a young woman who, at age 11, was abducted by yokai (spirits). They asked her to become their "God of Wisdom," a mediator who settles disputes in their world. She agreed, but at a steep physical cost: her right eye and left leg.
Saki is Kurou's beautiful ex-girlfriend, a police officer who broke up with him after he cowardly fled during an encounter with a kappa. She serves as a link to the human world and often finds herself reluctantly dragged into the investigations, providing a grounded perspective on the chaos caused by yokai.
