Shinichirou Asano can’t catch a break: his parents have left him behind and the money they provided is barely enough to get by. After losing his latest part-time job, he’s left scrambling to cover rent while juggling life as a high school student with few options.

One night on his way home, a monstrous centipede attacks—only for a bow-wielding girl to intervene. She turns out to be Sakuya Shimazu, a striking classmate with a secret: the Shimazu family has served as exorcists for generations, keeping dangerous spirits and creatures in check. When Shinichirou’s attempt to help an injured girl inadvertently frees a nekomata, a two-tailed demon cat, Sakuya holds him accountable and pulls him into the hunt to capture it. That reluctant partnership soon takes an unexpected turn when the Shimazu household needs a housekeeper, and Shinichirou’s talent for cooking and cleaning offers him a practical way to stay afloat—right in the middle of their supernatural world.
