A kid who can see gods and a centuries-old fox spirit who bickers like they've been married forever solve neighborhood problems nobody else can see. The show knows the real magic isn't in the supernatural, it's in showing up for people when they're scared or lonely. Gintaro's sarcasm and Makoto's stubborn kindness shouldn't work together, but watching them fail and try again is what makes this 12 episodes feel like coming home.

Makoto Saeki's family carries the ability to see the gods' messenger, but only one living relative can hold it at any given time. When her mother dies while Makoto is still young, the gift passes to her. Now she is the only one who can see Gintaro, a fox spirit who has guarded the small Inari shrine since the Edo period. Makoto lives at that shrine with her father, its head priest. Despite their many differences, she and Gintaro draw on his power to help the people of their community, acting as go-betweens for the gods and humans in a gentle supernatural slice-of-life story.
