I really need a Season 2 for this!!
Firstly, I'd totally recommend this show if people out there want a soft romance with Fantasy, Action and Comedy elements mixed into it.The main reason I began the series was the description. As a person who always reads the description first, I have this tendency to drop japanese series without much thought to it, but this time I assure you this series was so much better than what I thought.
As the title of this review says, I think with the limited japanese series I've watched, this one had the best fight scenes. I got hooked up for them from the start.
Then came the comedy. Laughed throughout the show. And the Fantasy, with the whole Youkai, it was a new type of fantasy I'd watched.
Finally, the cute romance. It was so cute that I have a whole list of cute romance shows like this. I loved how Izzy kept protecting Hachi and how Hachi kept on going about how she shouldn't kill anyone anymore. It was cute.

Short and Decent Watch
Honestly quite surprised by how decent this was! Short and sweet with just 8 30-minute episodes. There were some awkward acting at times but overall the show was really enjoyable with lots of genuinely hilarious scenes. The fight sequences were cool too though I wish they lasted a bit more longer. I think there’s still much story to tell so a 2nd season would be nice :)Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
it's good....but not excellent.
I was really curios about this show because honestly I really struggle in finding Interesting japanese dramas.this has (or had) a lot of potential but somehow it manages to be .....meh.
the story: interesting. a young man manages to evoke a yokai and to bond with her experiencing love for the first time.
the yokai though is on her mission to find the five families that contributed to segregate her fellow yokai and therefore kill them.
hachi, the protagonist really cares for Izzy (the yokai) but doesn't agree with her "methods" of freeing her friends.
that's basically the plot in a nutshell.
the acting is really good. the music, the photography are also enjoyable but what is really lacking in the script.
the funny moments are not really funny, the tense moments are not really tense. I get that this is a short series and developing characters and plots takes time but everything is too much superficial.
don't get me wrong it is still enjoyable but it feels liked a missed opportunity.
the last episode gives away the fact that the story is far from over and that a second season should be on the horizon but as for now , June 2024, nothing seemes to be confirmed.
give it a watch if you want something light.

Hopefully there will be a second season.
Really looking forward to the sequel, I hope there are no murders or people dying in vain, and more slice of life moments that are funny and entertaining.I like Izzy's innocent and very cute appearance when facing contemporary Japanese life.
Who knows who the bad guy is actually doesn't really matter, because the attraction of this series is the romantic relationships. The many interests and points of view make it feel complicated and difficult to determine whose side the audience should side with.
Some unimportant characters somehow have to be sacrificed and die without making significant story developments. I'd rather have them stay alive and experience character development. For example, a character with the ability to change shape. It appeared very quickly, and then suddenly it had to end.
I'm really looking forward to the continuation of the story and hopefully Izzy and Tadashi can often have their happy moments.

Gaijin Writers
This is not a real Asian drama. The writers for this slop arent japanese or native to asian countries, but western asians and a white man. This is why there is forced diversity shit characters and too many halfs.hard drop when I saw the title and the bad MC with his token half black friend.
Japan doesnt need ESG forced diversity shit in these shows, Do not watch it if you think it's gonna be a fun J Drama. It's basically hollywood tier trash. Unrealistic japan life, too western leaning. Characters act stupid and non-japanese.
