The Morose Mononokean
On AT-X
A warmly comedic supernatural slice-of-life about a morose tea shop owner and a high schooler helping lost spirits find peace, balancing whimsy with genuine emotional depth.
Ashiya has spent the first seven days of high school stuck in the infirmary because of a youkai attaching itself to him. He ends up asking the owner of a small tea room called the "Mononokean" for help. This is a tale involving the very morose owner of Mononokean guiding the youkai that happened to wander into this world go to the next world.
