About We Rent Tsukumogami

Looking for background on We Rent Tsukumogami (つくもがみ貸します)? This comedy, mystery and slice of life series by Telecom Animation Film and TMS Entertainment (2018) starts out like this. In short: In a place and time where disasters are commonplace, Oko and Seiji cater to local customers at Izumoya, their renowned rental shop for everyday items. Mixed with Izumoya’s regular inventory are tsukumogami, long-lost spirits disguised as ordinary objects.

Also worth knowing: Unlike most people, Oko and Seiji can see and listen to the spirits, and Izumoya turns into a hub of paranormal activity as numerous tsukumogami end up in the shop. When Oko and Seiji spread the supernatural love by lending their “special” tsukumogami to unwitting customers, things get really interesting!

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Mikako Komatsu as Okou and Junya Enoki as Seiji. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
