Otome Youkai Zakuro

Okay, this anime is called Otome Youkai Zakuro. It's one of the anime that I was hooked on, remember?

-_-

Anyways, it's mainly about this... group of half-youkai who are forced to work with lieutenants of the imperial army under the Ministry of Spirit Affairs. This ministry was built to help youkai and the human race better understand each other through the solving of youkai occurrences around the area.

Nonetheless, it doesn't help Zakuro, one of the half-youkai girls, from hating the lieutenants because she cannot forgive those who accept Jesuit practices easily. This was, of course, during the era of Westernization and during those times, nobody trusted youkai, thinking they were dangerous and harmful to the human race and also, that the world would probably be better off without 'em.

Naturally, Zakuro wouldn't fancy that idea -_-

Doesn't help her that her "partner", Kei Agemaki, is absolutely terrified of spirits. Zakuro often categorizes him as "wimp" because he's always so scared of whatever spirits they have to face.

The other half-youkai were a little more open-minded with their partners, of course. There is Susukihotaru, who was partnered with solemn-faced Riken Yoshinokazura, and the twins Hozuki and Bonbori who were partnered with the youngest lieutenant in the imperial army, Ganryu Hanakiri. He is considered by the twins very special because he's the only one who can tell them apart, which makes them all the more attracted to him.

Haha.

Throughout the anime they face all sorts of youkai activities, both good and bad, but like every other anime, they have one specific highlight that concludes the anime with a big finale. The ending for this anime was very likable and though it could've been a little more satisfactory, it's satisfying enough :)
