Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatari (Original Japanese Version)

Kunato Hyoma, who harbors a hatred for tsukumogami, is forced to live with a house full of them and their enigmatic mistress, Nagatsuki Botan.

A bad first impression threatens to get Hyoma kicked out of his new home after only three days if he can't win over his tsukumogami hosts.

Hyoma has one more tsukumogami's support to earn before he'll be allowed to stay in the Nagatsuki household... but Yu seems completely unyielding.

Having earned his right to remain in the Nagatsuki residence for a year, Hyoma learns about the ulterior motive behind his stay.

An overly cautious Hyoma is forced to remove protective talismans he set up around the town, and learns more about Nagatsuki Botan in the process.

After his cryptic encounter with Aogi, Hyoma is determined to learn more about Botan. Haori is happy to explain, if only he'll be willing to listen...

Hyoma visits the Saenome of Kyoto, the Kadomori Clan, to get permission to act on their territory. But the Kadomoris have their own intentions...

A curveball thrown at Hyoma by Kadomori Taiju forces him to confront some of the ways he's changed.

Hyoma teams up with Yu and Tsubaki to fight a gang of tsukumogami who've begun targeting Kadomoris for torture.

Tsubaki makes Hyoma an offer he might not be able to refuse, and the Nagatsuki tsukumogami hold a party.

Hyoma looks into acquiring some better defenses, but acquiring Saenome armor requires him to pass a test.

The battle with Kai reveals secrets that the Nagatsukis would rather leave unknown.
