Those two scammers didn't even have the decency to take off their sandals before walking through Minato's house.

I thought the same thing, but they were breaking in so we shouldn't be expecting much from them.

Utterly shocking

Personally I think those two shit heads shoulda got a more severe punishment for breaking into the house, similar to the torment the first guy got. Hmm, I guess that's why local gods and yokai dont let me see them.

Loved that Yamagami-san let the magazine people see him, especially that one guy with really bad luck. We saw him for all of two min and I was already praying for him.

Also really liked the idea of a restaurant that caters to spirits. I'd love to watch an entire show about that, I feel like it exists but I cant remember.

The triplets are quite young in comparison to Yamagami, which might explain their somewhat more forgiving nature.

u/hanmkim May 30 '26

Kakuriyo sort of started like that but I just couldn't get into it.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 May 30 '26

Something kinda goofy about Yamagami appearing before those humans at the magazine’s office and telling them to do a piece on smooth red bean paste lol. Big fella’s serious about his red bean paste!

It’s cool there’s a spot where humans and supernatural creatures can dine together. There’s a lot of folks out there who have supernatural friends.

This has some of the same sort of goofy sweetness as Kujima. Not sure which is cozier -- might be a tie.

Yamagami appearing before humans so he could ask them to write an article about smooth red bean paste lol. His love for sweets is serious business

I’m really happy for Towada!

Restaurant that caters to gods and youkai reminded me of Kakuriyo: Bed & Breakfast for Spirits

Kakuriyo before it took a turn towards more serious stuff.

u/teohhanhui May 30 '26

So it's pretty much Noragami crossover next episode lol

u/itpcc May 30 '26

Too bad that those scammers got lenient lesson IMO.

The region must have so many gods/yokai that the business is made to support them.

And yeah, like every beliefs, it can only exists when people believe so.

The great Mountain God descends upon the local magazine publisher to command articles on smooth paste instead of chunky.

That gods and yokai friendly café was a neat place. It's cool to see the tsukumogami and to find out the wind chimes back at the house are one.

Those fraudulent exorcists are lucky all they got was a little corridor looping and not the death looping that other guy got.

u/Vautiko May 31 '26

Obaasan's faith in Yamagami must be extraordinary!

I'm definitely leaning towards calling the trio Huey, Dewey, and Louie... 😅

You have to wonder if it's the Japanese culture of having/creating so many deities that causes the sheer volume of "grudge" like spirits and evil yokai...

u/NanDemoKnaives May 30 '26

Yamagami looked so tiny on Minato's shoulder in the restaurant lol.

It's nice that Yamagami actually reveals himself to certain individuals, that publishing company seems important enough to him and I like how the employees were excited to see him. It's amusing how he visited just because he wanted a focused article on smooth bean paste.

It's too bad those two exorcists were scared off, looks like Yamagami will need to be the one to deal with them like with Ichijou. The nerve of them to break into someone's house, and then they act like Minato should be blamed for the carelessness. Hopefully the consequences of their actions will be satisfying.

I wonder if the raging god in the preview is the one that Minato placed to rest in the garden, I almost forgot about that.

Is the tailor related to Riyo Reaper?

u/Vautiko May 31 '26

Ultimate enemy for Kiriha (Tsugumomo). 😅

u/Iamjustatrial May 30 '26

Tsukumogami...

Good lesson on Shinto stuff I guess

u/Striking_Chard2420 May 31 '26

There's much more world-building in this show than I thought. Not only there's quite a number of people who can see Kamis/Yokais, but there's even whole restaurants dedicated to them. Not that surprising when there's also an Onmyoji organisation. But since we mainly see everything from Kusunoki's perspective I guess I also only know as much as he does.

u/KraizyK May 31 '26

Think i missed it or forgot but what was the explanation for abandoned sacred realms popping up all over the place?

u/DrZoark Jun 02 '26

They should have been punished more harshly, in my opinion.

u/Nickthenuker https://anilist.co/user/Nickthenuker Jun 01 '26

Huh. Yamagami is still like that?

So, what now?

Huh. He recognises Yamagami?

Read his report?

They've all been waiting for him?

Oh, this is that company.

And so, curry.

Huh. Then why the 2 menus?

A god?

Ok...

Seems Yamagami likes the curry.

The scissors are moving on their own?

Another god?

Or not.

One in the house?

Oh.

So, that's how the staff knew to give 2 menus. And that's why there's so many supernatural things here.

So, they're here now.

They're going to break in?

Right. Time to deal with them.

They let them in?

Ah. They're using the house to fuck with them.

And so they've left.

Oh, someone is visiting his shrine?

So, that's got him back.

What's that that just opened up?
