My Supernatural Living Arrangement

Harumi, a young woman who has just begun her career as an office worker, finally achieves her long-held dream of living independently. However, the affordable apartment she rents comes with a significant drawback: it is classified as a stigmatized property plagued by supernatural activity. Despite experiencing unexplained phenomena such as objects moving on their own and mysterious tapping sounds echoing through the rooms, Harumi remains undeterred. She refuses to let paranormal disturbances ruin the excitement of her newfound freedom and settles into her daily routine with unwavering optimism. Her resolve is truly tested when she makes a startling discovery—a cat-eared boy dressed in festive attire has been secretly residing in her home. He introduces himself as Kurogane, revealing that he is not human but rather a yokai, a traditional supernatural entity. Unfazed by his otherworldly nature, Harumi draws a firm boundary regarding her household. She flatly refuses to allow him to freeload off her hard-earned independence and insists that he must earn his keep by sharing the domestic chores. What follows is a lighthearted and charming story about two unlikely roommates navigating their unconventional cohabitation, bound together by the surprising terms of a shared lease agreement.
