It has some horror elements, but it’s slow paced and gentle. It’s a series of short stories about a kid (who can see yokai) who was bullied by everyone and passed around by relatives after his parents died.
He’s just been taken in by a loving family and slowly gains the ability to have friends and relate to people (and yokai). He also finds out his grandmother was similar to him and collected the names of yokai she defeated in duels, and she left that book of names to him. It can be used to control them, so a lot of the stories are about the consequences of him having it.
I like that the story is about how people can grow when shown love and security. With like monsters and mystery.
Thank you so much! I have a lot to read now lol
