Midnight Occult Civil Servants
A supernatural mystery anime grounded in Japanese mythology and urban fantasy, balancing procedural case-solving with the protagonist's discovery of a legendary past identity.
Miyako Arata is newly assigned to the Shinjuku Ward Office's Nighttime Regional Relations Department. Each of Tokyo's 23 wards has one such department, established to mitigate paranormal and occult-related events. Arata's special skill is the understanding of non-human speech, and the story begins with him encountering a youkai at Shinjuku Gyoen park who refers to him as the legendary Heian-era exorcist, Abe no Seimei.
