Synopsis
Set in an alternate version of the Meiji Era, a boy named Sakamoto Ryunosuke returns to Kyoto from Shanghai with his monster (youkai) Nekomaru. The law states that in order to live freely with humans, a youkai must be liscensed. The Kidou Shinsengumi Co. Ltd. is responsible for the capture of unliscensed youkais but must fight with the Tsubamegumi, who resents the new law. It turns out that Ryunosuke is the son of the owner of the Shinsengumis.
Audience Consensus
The anime is considered an average, 'just fine' viewing experience. While some elements like the recurring villains and likeable characters are appreciated, the overall narrative and character development lack depth. The anime's failure to fully explore intriguing plot points, such as the war between Shinto and Buddhism, leaves viewers wanting more, but ultimately, the show is seen as a passable but unremarkable diversion.
