 Tonari no Youkai is a pleasant, (mostly) slice of life anime set in a world where humans and various supernatural spirits, gods, and monsters live side-by-side in (mostly) harmony. The show focuses on the lives and goings-on of an idyllic town named Fuchigamori. Characters Buchio  Maybe the closest thing to a protagonist, Buchio is a very old housecat who was reborn into a nekomata. He's kind of shy and still trying to figure out the whole youkai thing, and all the paperwork that comes with it. Yuri  Buchio's grumpy teacher and a stone cold fox. It's hinted that she has a tragic past. Jiro  The village's easygoing tengu protector. He's currently acting as a paternal figure in Mutsumi's life after her father got vanished. Mutsumi  A plucky, young girl whose dad got sucked into a black hole. She's still trying to sort out her feelings about that since, in all likelihood, he ain't coming back. Whatever the gently caress this thing is  ??? There are actually a lot more characters tho, this whole thing's very much and ensemble anime. Anyway, it's good, you should check it out.

Anyway, I do wonder if the demon king will turn out to have some ulterior motive or if he's just a cool guy.

For that matter, is there any relation or correlation between a demon king in Japanese folklore and D&D-eque fantasies. I think the term they use is the same in Japanese (maō (魔王) or maou, so not a loose translation) but I've never heard the term used in Japanese folklore before. Quick bit of research doesn't tie it into any particular legend which adds to the mystery in this case.

Missed opportunity for the isekai device to be a box truck instead of a van.

1. I'm glad to see Yuki reconcile with her family. 2. Just as much that Jiro asked Mutsumi to keep the cord as a charm. 3. Rumors and stories, man.
