Synopsis
Sarcastic ghost Tatami-chan navigates Tokyo life, job-hunting, and bills among spirits and humans in horror-comedy.
The "pleasant horror gag comedy" centers around the life of Tatami-chan, a sardonic ghost from Iwate Prefecture who is now living in Tokyo among other spirits, supernatural entities, and humans. In addition to dealing with otherworldly matters, the unemployed Tatami-chan also has to deal with job-hunting as well as paying for gas, water, and electricity. (Source: ANN)
