Hanae Ashiya has never believed in demons or spirits -- until the day he accidentally steps on a ''youkai'' and it attaches itself to him, causing him to spend every day of his first week of high school in the infirmary. Desperate to free himself of the demon, he enlists the help of Haruitsuki Abeno, the morose owner of a tea shop called the ''Mononokean'', to exorcise it. Upon its exorcism, Ashiya is forced into working at the Mononokean to pay off his debt of one million ''en'' -- the underworld's currency.

* ConvenientlySeated: Played with. The class is seated according to attendance number, with Ashiya in the seat in front of Abeno. They both sit next to the window, but because they're 1st and 2nd respectively on the attendance list, they sit at the very front.
* ExtraDimensionalShortcut: The Mononokean acts as one.
* HollywoodExorcism: Averted. What exorcism entails here is simply opening a gate to the underworld for a demon to pass through.
* TheNicknamer: Fushimi tends to nickname his friends. Ashiya is "Ashiyan" and Abeno is "Abenon." Ashiya also calls Fushimi "Fusshi."
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: A common example of "youkai" being translated as "demons." Most of the ones that Abeno and Ashiya encounter are benign.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: During hide-and-seek in the graveyard, this is how Ashiya knows Abeno is actually Yahiko shapeshifted. While Abeno only ever calls Fuzzy "Hairball," Yahiko calls him "Fuzzy" while taking on Abeno's form. When Abeno shows up shortly after, Zenko holds up Fuzzy and asks Abeno to name him, to which he says "[[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay Hairball]]."

* ExtraDimensionalShortcut: The Mononokean acts as one.
* HollywoodExorcism: Averted. What exorcism entails here is simply opening a gate to the underworld for a demon to pass through.
* TheNicknamer: Fushimi tends to nickname his friends. Ashiya is "Ashiyan" and Abeno is "Abenon." Ashiya also calls Fushimi "Fusshi."
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: A common example of "youkai" being translated as "demons." Most of the ones that Abeno and Ashiya encounter are benign.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: During hide-and-seek in the graveyard, this is how Ashiya knows Abeno is actually Yahiko shapeshifted. While Abeno only ever calls Fuzzy "Hairball," Yahiko calls him "Fuzzy" while taking on Abeno's form. When Abeno shows up shortly after, Zenko holds up Fuzzy and asks Abeno to name him, to which he says "[[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay Hairball]]."
* PortalDoor: Abeno can summon the door to the [[ExtradimensionalShortcut Mononokean]] from anywhere. Likewise, it's possible to summon a door to another place from within the Mononokean as well.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: While the story mostly focuses on Abeno and Ashiya, Zenko sometimes joins the duo in their jobs.
* WeAreAsMayflies: Humans and demons are like this. The Mononokean brings it up when Fuzzy ignores Ashiya for a while, saying that the time Fuzzy shares with Ashiya is invaluable as humans live far shorter lives than demons; the clock is always ticking.
* WorkOffTheDebt: How Ashiya is forced into working for the Mononokean; he can't pay it off in regular money as Abeno wants to be paid in underworld currency.
