He thanks Sakae for protecting Hanae before Sakae's consciousness disappears and Ashiya faints again. Abeno cannot stop Sakae but witnesses a memory of Sakae sealing that demon years before. Sakae then releases and kills Sasa (who is not in the least repenting and who would have killed Abeno and Ahiya and whoever else he got his hands on). In that moment Sakae makes his appearance and takes over Hanae's body and consciousness to protect him from self-destructing inside and being killed by Sasa. He's really desperate there and you're hurting with him. He withdraws within the deepest part of his soul thinking that he's killed Abeno. Ashiya tries to follow suit but regains consciousness for a moment where he realizes that he's strangeling Abeno and stops. In the manga, Sasa does posess Ashiya and orders him to kill Abeno. FUKIGEN NA MONONOKEAN TSUZUKI SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 HOW TOI'm still not really sure about how to feel about this: Therefore the scene did not develop the same "soul cleansing" effect for Hanae that it had in the manga.īut now to the thing that had me confused/angry/disappointed: The complete deviation from the plot at the end of this season when compared to the manga. In the anime, you can barely guess he's been crying, so it feels pretty flat. He's never really cried earnestly in the manga before, so that scene was very important for his character development in my opinion.In the manga he starts crying without even really noticing at first and then breaks down entirely apparently (actual crying spree not shown in the manga either, but the beginning and end was shown so that you knew what happened). the breakdown was very emotional in the manga. They left out the whole kappa part -which would have been okay if they needed to shorten the episodes- but again. The same goes for the scene at the riverbank where he has a breakdown. 1-2 seconds more showing Ashiya's anguish and fear would have been welcome here. While the scene did exist in the anime, it felt rushed. In the manga Ahiya is still very traumatized and is shaking.He reaches out to Fuzzy but at the last second hesitates and drops his hand again,fearful to touch the yokai. Meant to help keep the episode length but I feel like they should have rather lengthened those 1-2 scenes and shortened other scenes that showed scenery etc.Įxample: When Ashiya had been attacked by the Executive and then remained alone in the room while waiting for Abeno to return, Fuzzy runs to him and tries to cuddle. They left out some manga chapters entirely, took away from scenes that were very emotional in the manga but were only so-so/had less impact in the anime. I'm also reading the manga and I felt a bit shortchanged at some points throughout the season. I'm stuck somewhere between 6 (fair) and 8 (very good) because I guess that without the manga comparison, it might be better. My review is more or less a comparison of the anime and manga and describes why I'm not happy with what they did with this adaptation. But one day, a simple visit to the Underworld draws the attention of those in power, and Ashiya soon learns that not every youkai is willing to go along with Abeno's plans.Attention: Spoilers ahead. Knowledge of his existence has begun to spread, and not everyone is happy to have a human working for the Mononokean, the interdimensional tea room. His ability to communicate with youkai has given him a sense of responsibility regarding the magical creatures, and he continues to work hard to send them to their true home in the Underworld.Īs Ashiya’s life finally stabilizes, the youkai threaten to upset it once again. If Hanae ever hopes to settle his debt, he must work together with Abeno to guide a variety of dangerous, strange, and interesting youkai back to the Underworld.ĭespite being burdened with crippling debt to the morose Haruitsuki Abeno, Hanae Ashiya has come to enjoy his job as an exorcist. And to make things worse, his new boss is actually one of his classmates. Much to Hanae's dismay, he cannot afford the fee and must become an employee at the Mononokean to work off his debt. A morose-sounding man, Haruitsuki Abeno, reluctantly helps Hanae but demands payment afterward. 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. 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.Īs his health continues to decline and the creature grows in size, Hanae comes across a flyer advertising an exorcist who expels youkai. 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.
