    Do y'all have any good yokai-centered anime recs?
    I know this is very specific but I absolutely love Natsume's Book of Friends and Mushishi, and I also really like The Morose Mononokean and Midnight Occult Civil Servants.

    I'm just looking for shows with those same sort of yokai-discovery vibes, and I would rather it was about people chilling with the yokai rather than fighting them.

    Second this, especially if you only look for the casual one, no human/youkai vs youkai fight/war

    Miira no Kaikata

    (Also Midnight Occult Civil Servants is so underrated, it totally deserves a second season)
