Gintaro was a fox spirit that protected a small temple since the old times. Makoto's family had the ability to see the god's agent, but the ability was only limited to one living relative at one time. after her mother passed away, Makoto inherited the ability and started seeking Gintaro. with the help of Gintaro, they started helping the people in their community and became great friends.
the series was not one of the most stunning series that stood out. but without trying to achieve any new grounds and simply wanting to be lighthearted, the series had succeeded with flying colors. Gintaro was original a lazy and obnoxious fox spirit after all these years. getting to know Makoto had been the turning point in his long lived life. with the help of the reluctant Gintaro, Makoto had the chance to help the people around her. while it was seemingly cherry on the outside, Makoto had a difficult childhood, especially after the death of her mother. her special ability only further alienated her, making her an introvert and socially awkward. the growth we saw in her throughout the episodes were the most rewarding along with the growth that also took place in Gintaro. it was such a beautiful series with a story so straightforward that it was surprisingly easy to watch.
