About The Morose Mononokean

The Morose Mononokean (Fukigen na Mononokean) arrives as a comedy anime by Pierrot Plus (2016), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: The start of Hanae Ashiya's high school career has not been easy—he has spent all of the first week in the infirmary, and his inexplicable condition is only getting worse. The cause of his torment is the mysterious fuzzy creature that has attached itself to him ever since he stumbled upon it the day before school began.

Along the way, as his health continues to decline and the creature grows in size, Hanae comes across a flyer advertising an exorcist who expels youkai. Desperate and with nothing left to lose, he calls the number and is led to the Mononokean, a tea room which suddenly appears next to the infirmary. A morose-sounding man, Haruitsuki Abeno, reluctantly helps Hanae but demands payment afterward.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series.
