Full screen 「となりの妖怪さん」Tonari no Youkai-san Episode 01-13 English Subbed Anime Episode #anime
Tonari no Yokai-san (2024) is an anime adaptation of the charming manga by noho. Set in the tranquil town of Engamori, this supernatural slice-of-life series invites viewers into a world where humans, yokai (Japanese spirits), and gods coexist peacefully. The story focuses on a young woman named Mutsumi who befriends Buchio, a nekomata—a type of yokai that takes the form of a cat. Together, they navigate the heartwarming and sometimes mysterious events that unfold in this unique community where the ordinary and the supernatural blend seamlessly.
The anime is expected to debut in April 2024 and promises a delightful blend of traditional Japanese folklore with everyday life, offering a refreshing take on the slice-of-life genre. Fans of other supernatural slice-of-life series like Natsume’s Book of Friends or Flying Witch might find Tonari no Yokai-san particularly appealing due to its similar soothing and whimsical atmosphere.
One interesting aspect is how the series originally began on Twitter before gaining enough popularity to be serialized and eventually adapted into an anime. The simplicity of its art and story is part of what makes it stand out, offering viewers a cozy and immersive experience.
For those who enjoy a mix of folklore, light-hearted humor, and a touch of the mystical in their anime, Tonari no Yokai-san is definitely one to watch in 2024
