Zakuro

In an alternate Meiji-era Japan, humans and spirits coexist, though not always peacefully. To maintain harmony, the Ministry of Spirit Affairs is formed, comprised of human soldiers and a quartet of half-spirit girls. These young women, each blessed with unique supernatural abilities and distinct animal characteristics, are tasked with resolving conflicts between the two realms. Among them is Zakuro, a spirited and fiercely independent fox-spirit who holds a deep distrust for humans, particularly her assigned partner, the charming but often clueless Lieutenant Agemaki Kei. As they navigate a world teetering between tradition and modernization, these unlikely pairs must learn to overcome their differences and embrace their shared purpose, all while confronting the lingering shadows of a past that threatens to unravel their delicate peace.
