Production notes
Starting from Episode 14, Otogi Zoshi enters its second half. A new chapter set in present-time Tokyo is about to begin!
Tokyo, 2004.
Hikaru is a 17-year-old high school student. Both of her parents have already deceased, which leaves her the landlady of their apartment housing called Minamoto Heights. While her tenants include unique characters such as the freelance writer Tsuna, the weird fortuneteller Urabe, and the pimp Sadamitsu, who has a gluttonous little boy named Kintaro. Her elder brother, Raiko, has been found to be missing for about a year now.
Then one day, Hikaru witnesses her missing brother in the busy city of Tokyo, but Tsuna, who was with her at that time, apparently didn't.
After this unexpected accident, many people around her start to disappear as if they were spirited away. Something really strange is about to happen in Tokyo...
