About Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits

Here is what Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits (Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi) is about, retold in plain terms: a supernatural, romance and drama anime by Gonzo (2018). At its core: Abandoned as a child by her mother, Aoi Tsubaki has always had the ability to see "ayakashi"—spirits from the Hidden Realm. Shirou Tsubaki, her grandfather who shared the same ability, took her under his wing and taught her how to live with the ayakashi in peace.

Along the way, when her grandfather abruptly passes away, the independent Aoi has to continue her college career, armed with only her knowledge in cooking as a means of protection against the human-eating spirits. In hopes that the ayakashi will not turn to her or other unknowing humans as a tasty meal, she takes it upon herself to feed the hungry creatures that cross her path. After giving an enigmatic ayakashi her lunch, Aoi is transported to the Hidden Realm, where the ayakashi reveals himself to be an ogre-god known as Oodanna, the "Master Innkeeper.

In a supernatural series like this, spirits, curses and unexplained forces shape both mood and plot. Think of it as a pick for fans of eerie, otherworldly settings.
