Tsugumomo

Kazuya Kagami keeps a simple life centered on the old Sakura Obi his mother left him, until that obi turns out to be more than a keepsake. A sharp-tongued, kimono-clad spirit named Kiriha appears and starts living in his room, upending his routines and schooling him in the strange rules that govern yokai and possessed objects. His childhood friend Chisato pops in with blunt concern and jealousy, while an overprotective older sister and a rotating cast of sorceresses and shrine attendants complicate his days. The series mixes schoolroom awkwardness, supernatural fights, and frequent risqué humor as Kazuya copes with new responsibilities and tangled relationships.

Based on Ryouichi Kuraya's manga, the anime adaptation aired in 2017 and features voice work from Yuko Sanpei as Kazuya Kagami, Naomi Ohzora as Kiriha, and Yurika Kubo as Kukuri among others.

Tsugumomo did not receive major industry awards or high-profile nominations, though it has remained visible within its genre niche and among dedicated viewers.

Within otaku circles the show is known for pairing traditional Japanese folklore ideas with modern harem and ecchi tropes, and certain characters, especially Kiriha, have become common choices for cosplay and fan art. Its visual mix of kimono aesthetics and action set pieces gave it a recognizable identity at conventions and online fandom spaces.

Critical and audience reaction has been mixed, reflected in a modest average rating of about 6.46 out of 10 from recorded votes. Viewers often praise the action choreography and supernatural worldbuilding, while noting that the heavy fanservice and uneven pacing won't suit everyone. Thematically it balances themes of duty, unusual guardianship, and adolescent awkwardness, appealing most to fans who enjoy supernatural fights wrapped in romantic-comedy and ecchi framing.
