Gugure! Kokkuri-san

Gugure! Kokkuri-san is a supernatural comedy TV anime adapted from the manga by Endo Midori, produced by TMS Entertainment with Yoshimasa Hiraike serving as both director and series composer. The story follows Kohina Ichimatsu, a peculiar girl who declares herself a doll, after she summons Kokkuri-san—a fox spirit who refuses to leave and takes it upon himself to look after her. The chaos only grows as Inugami and Shigaraki join the household, each bringing their own eccentric personalities. Blending offbeat humor with supernatural charm, this series delivers a uniquely heartwarming and hilarious slice-of-life experience.

Set in a quiet corner of Japan, this story follows Kohina Ichimatsu, a peculiar young girl who lives alone and sustains herself almost entirely on cup ramen—a diet that would concern just about anyone. Her unusual daily life takes an unexpected turn when she performs a Kokkuri-san ritual, a traditional Japanese spirit-summoning game rooted in folklore. Rather than encountering a fearsome supernatural entity, she finds herself face-to-face with a strikingly handsome young man with flowing white hair—the spirit known as Kokkuri-san, a lower-ranking ghost from Japanese legend. What begins as an unlikely encounter between a human child and a spirit soon evolves into a one-of-a-kind living arrangement. Blending supernatural elements with everyday slice-of-life comedy, this series offers a heartwarming and humorous look at the unexpected bonds that can form between the human world and the world beyond.
