A spirit leaves Hanae Ashiya too exhausted to begin high school. His search for help leads to the Mononokean, a traveling tearoom whose young master guides yokai back to their own world. Paying off his debt means joining the business, where each troublesome visitor has a story worth hearing.

Their work reveals lives and attachments behind frightening appearances, as helping a spirit return home often requires understanding what has kept it in the human world.

On working days, the General helps an alien organization plan the conquest of Earth. On his days off, he has much more important business: visiting pandas, finding good food and enjoying a little peace. Even a feared villain needs a break, though the heroes he fights do not always stay out of his way. Earth becomes harder to reduce to a target when it contains so many small pleasures. The comedy follows the gap between the General's fearsome professional role and his surprisingly careful leisure habits, finding warmth in routines usually left outside an action story.

Before his island adventures in Barakamon, young calligrapher Sei Handa has a different problem: he thinks his entire school dislikes him. His classmates, meanwhile, regard him with something close to reverence. Every attempt to escape their attention creates another misunderstanding and adds to his bewildering reputation. Admiration looks like hostility when Handa reads every social signal through his insecurity. The comedy comes from watching his classmates' enthusiastic interpretation drift further and further from the anxious explanation he has invented for himself.

by Yasunobu Yamauchi
- Comedy (shared)

Tadakuni, Hidenori and Yoshitake can turn an uneventful afternoon into an elaborate disaster. School corridors, riverbanks and bedrooms provide the stage for their improvised adventures and painfully awkward attempts to seem impressive. Short comic episodes follow a sprawling circle of classmates whose ordinary problems rarely receive sensible solutions. Their imaginations can make a routine encounter feel like a dramatic scene, usually until reality interrupts. The ensemble's competing ideas of maturity give the comedy its momentum, finding embarrassment and elaborate nonsense in days when very little actually needs to happen.

Apprentice witch Makoto moves to the countryside to live with relatives and continue her training. Between school, gardening, and finding her way around town, she encounters a quieter kind of magic: unusual visitors, hidden places, and small surprises in familiar routines. A gentle comedy about settling into a new home, where the supernatural is another part of everyday life. Makoto's training rarely separates neatly from the ordinary business of being a guest, student and neighbor. The pleasure lies in watching a familiar environment open into something stranger without losing its warmth or unhurried pace.
