EPISODE REVIEWS
If there's a positive, there's always a negative. This episode shows that while there are clients who react positively, there are also clients who react negatively. Quite a different change of pace and tone, but still moves the story forward a bit in a sense.
I really liked how this episode flips the usual formula by putting human skepticism front and center instead of just another yokai problem. It quietly explores belief, doubt, and trust without feeling preachy. Ashiya's sincerity keeps grounding the whole story while Abeno stays effortlessly cool. The balance between the supernatural and everyday emotions is honestly what makes this series so easy to get attached to.
Today's episode hits different. It pauses the usual monster comedy to focus on a massive shift. The writing really makes me feel their raw frustration, yet it's still heartwarming.
