Youko is a dog girl who will destroy your life if you look at her wrong, and Keita is the broke loser she's decided to torment forever. The show knows exactly what it is: slapstick chaos where every scheme to make money backfires, every attempt at romance implodes, and the only constant is Youko's feral energy and Keita's complete inability to control anything about his situation. It's silly in the way that only 2006 comedy anime understood, where the punchline is always physical, immediate, and doesn't care if it makes sense.
Keita comes from a prestigious family of supernatural beast tamers, but he's got one problem: he's terrible at the job. Cast out for his incompetence, he gets a second chance when Youko arrives. She's an Inukami, a dog-like spirit creature, and she's gorgeous, elegant and seemingly devoted. Except she isn't quite what she appears. Youko is a troublesome spirit nobody has ever managed to rein in, and Keita forms a pact with her anyway. What follows is pure chaos. Keita would rather chase money and girls, but Youko believes she is all the company he needs. She loves breaking things, gets fiercely jealous, and objects loudly whenever her master tries to pick up girls. Still, the two make a strong team when perverted spirits cause trouble around their neighbourhood. It's slapstick comedy with romance and ecchi touches, built around a tamer and his possessive, destructive spirit partner.
