Synopsis
University student Kiyo moves in with kitsune Ozaki, who hides his centuries-old debt to Kiyo's grandfather.
In the Taishou era, Kiyo Fukasaku moves to Tokyo to attend Imperial University. After losing his way in the winding streets of the city, he has a chance encounter with a man named Ozaki, who seemingly recognizes Kiyo's surname. In exchange for completing household chores, Ozaki offers Kiyo a place to stay, and the two begin living together. Their days blend together, one by one, until Kiyo learns Ozaki's secret—the man is a kitsune spirit who has lived for hundreds of years. In addition, Ozaki only agreed to let Kiyo live with him to repay a debt he held with Seishirou Fukasaku, Kiyo's grandfather. Between a kitsune who claims to hate humans and a boy whose disposition has awakened old memories, can there be a happy end?
