PetoPeto-san English Sub & Dub

About PetoPeto-san

PetoPeto-san blends comedy, school and romance by Xebec (2005). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: After centuries of antagonism and misunderstanding, the Japanese finally welcome youkai into their community. In an attempt at species integration, normal children begin attending school with paranormal creatures who are quite humanoid.

Beyond that: Shingo Ohashi comes across himself developing feelings for Hatoko "Petoko" Fujimura, a half-youkai half-human girl whose gifts are: uncontrollable cuteness to enchant those around her (similar to a low-ability succubus).

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series.
