SYNOPSIS
A mysterious capsule machine in the woods changes everything for Keita Amano. Inside waits Whisper, a ghostly butler who grants him a magical watch and an incredible ability: seeing yokai, supernatural creatures hidden from ordinary human sight. Each yokai possesses unique powers and personalities, from mischievous troublemakers to genuinely helpful spirits. Keita's new watch lets him befriend these creatures and call them into battle, turning him into an unlikely yokai summoner. His days shift between the mundane world of school and friends and this hidden supernatural layer that now surrounds him. Whisper becomes his constant companion, offering bumbling guidance and comic relief as Keita discovers what yokai have been doing all along: causing the weird coincidences and small disasters that plague everyday life. The series balances lighthearted comedy with genuine adventure. Encounters with yokai range from silly to genuinely strange, creating moments that feel both fantastical and oddly grounded. It's a show about friendship, discovery, and learning that the world contains far more wonder and weirdness than anyone realizes.
