ついに憧れの「鬼喰い天狗」が封印されている場所を発見し、春華を解放する。
以来行動をともにすることとなった二人。
勘太郎のいたずら心から時には大喧嘩になることもしばしばだが、
様々な事件を解決していくうち、二人の関係は徐々に変化をみせる。
豪華絢爛妖怪退治絵巻、ついに登場！！
Yoki-kyoukotsu-aradama-(insert random consonant+vowel string and unnatural high-pitch voice to sound like you’re speaking Japanese). RIGHT. I have absolutely no idea what those wriggly kanji and hiragana mean.
-SULKS- My semi-comatose brain is simply not able to conduct a websearch for an English summary (more like I’m needing to the bathroom after watching almost 10 episodes straight). In a nutshell, Kantarou is a folklorist who has exorcism abilities. He unsealed an oni-eating tengu (the fansub said ogre-eating goblin, which makes him sound so ugly) whom he named Haruka. And together with Haruka, and a bunch of other monsters and humans, Kantarou goes round exorcising ghosts, and Hakura eventually “awakens” and remains memory about the times when he was sealed.
Yeah. It’s a nice show. Nice enough to keep awake till 3am this morning and only went to bed because I wanted to leave some episodes for today. Think you’d want to watch it? Access it from my YouTube playlist. (Psst- please do not mind the other shounen-ai playlists).
