You see, Aoi has a strong spiritual energy and have always been able to see ayakashi. Well, cooking isn´t just a hobby for Aoi, it’s a way of survival. I mentioned that the show focused a lot on food and how it influences our lives.
And those 1-episode stories actually contribute to the overarching plot in the end as well, so the feeling that I wasted my time on filler bs never occurred.
There is a more overarching plot though, it´s just not the main focus the first half of the show. The narrative is mostly episodic with each episode address some kind of problem for Aoi to solve (mostly by cooking delicious food). As this can be utterly disappointing for some, I actually grow to highly appreciate KnY for just this reason. It´s mainly about food and the importance of food in our lives really.
Because, the main theme of the KnY isn´t a reverse harem, or even romance. Aoi like Nanami looks like your average lead for this kind of show with mouse brown hair and plain features.īut the similarities only go so far. The premise was indeed similar, with our girl Aoi Tsubaki having her life changed drastically and are forced to a new life in the Hidden realm, the Japanese folk lore setting, and lots of cute ayakashi guys for a potential reverse harem. Which sure can be a very good thing if done as in Kamisama Hajimemashita. Both seemed to have the same premise a Japanese folk lore setting, a mundane girl in her late teens who are involved with spirits (ayakashi) from the hidden realm, with the potential for a reverse harem and lots of shoujo romance stuff. I had got the impression that Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi (Hidden realm: Bed & Breakfast for Spirits) was more or less a copy of Kamisama Hajimemashita (which I highly enjoyed).
