Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatari Vol. 5

SEPARATION ANXIETY When Hyoma learns an unsettling new piece of information about Botan, he decides to take a much-needed break from the Nagatsuki household. Unsettled herself, and reeling from Hyoma’s absence, Botan takes matters into her own hands and vows to learn more about her past and her own abilities. Since her family will sugarcoat the truth, she instead pays a visit to the head of the Kadomori Saenome. Will he give her the answers she seeks? Or is Botan, separated from all those who protect her, putting herself in a dangerous situation?
Series Overview: There are powerful beings whose spirits dwell within old objects: tsukumogami. Hyoma is a young man who despises these evil spirits for robbing him of something precious. His mission: to use the supernatural powers granted to him to dispatch these tsukomogami back to their own world, no matter what it takes.
But when Hyoma’s grandfather sends him to live with Botan, a kind-hearted girl who peacefully shares a house with an assortment of overprotective tsukumogami, it’s more than Hyoma can bear. Can Botan help Hyoma overcome his rage, or will his thirst for vengeance lead him down a dark and violent path?
