Tsukumogami Kashimasu (Tsukumogami for Rent) is back with more news for the upcoming anime adaptation of Megumi Hatekenaka’s novel. We get to see a first trailer, which gives us the impression that this series will be very classy. Take a look at the video yourself!

The series also introduces three of the main characters with some beautiful illustrations. The story takes place at a rental shop in Edo (modern-day Tokyo) during the Edo period. Among the items available to rent are Japanese spirits called ‘tsukumogami’, which are things which become sentient after 100 years of use. The siblings Kiyoji and Obeni are the stars of the story and are introduced below. The third character introduced is Sataro.

Seiji (VA: Junya Enoki)

He works with his older sister Okou at the rental shop. He is very kind and smart, so the people in town like to dote on him. However, he is also easily pushed around and can be too kind so that products of the store, the tsukumogami, tease him. He also is very concerned about his sister Okou, to whom he isn’t related by blood…

Okou (VA: Mikako Komatsu)

With her younger brother Seiji, she works at the rental shop and is so cute that she draws in the customers. With her beautiful appearance and her good and cheerful personality, she is popular with people regardless of their age and gender. She tends to be really strict with her younger brother. However, she trusts him completely and her heart can’t hold a grudge against him for long.

Sataro (VA: Takahiro Sakurai)

He is a famous merchant and young owner of his own store. He is very elegant and good-looking, has always had an eye out for Obeni and went as far as courting her. However, he suddenly disappears one day.
