Set in a world similar to modern Japan, the story depicts the heartwarming rural life of the protagonist, Minato Kusunoki, who is entrusted with the caretaker of a house in the countryside, and the unique gods who have gathered there, attracted by the comfort of the Kusunoki House, which has been purified by his extraordinary power. The latest 10th volume of the original novel will be released on July 17th. The comic adaptation is being serialized in “KadoComi” and other sites.
The teaser visual shows Minato and Yamagami leaving the Kusunoki residence, which is surrounded by beautiful rural scenery.

A Gentle Life with Gods Comes to the Screen
“Kunoki House with God’s Garden” brings a refreshing twist to the slice-of-life genre by combining rural living with divine folklore. The presence of gods living alongside humans in a quiet countryside setting adds a mythical charm and emotional depth to the story. In a time when urban chaos dominates many narratives, this series offers a peaceful retreat into nature and spirituality. The teaser visual suggests a calm, pastel-toned aesthetic, hinting at a soothing and introspective anime experience. It may appeal strongly to fans of works like Natsume’s Book of Friends or Barakamon.
