About

You can stream Midnight Occult Civil Servants (2019) on Crunchyroll with a subscription.

Miyako Arata is newly assigned to the Shinjuku Ward Office's Nighttime Regional Relations Department. Each of Tokyo's 23 wards has one such department, established to mitigate paranormal and occult-related events. Arata's special skill is the understanding of non-human speech, and the story begins with him encountering a youkai at Shinjuku Gyoen park who refers to him as the legendary Heian-era exorcist, Abe no Seimei.

Navigating the bureaucratic paperwork of Tokyo's ward offices becomes significantly more complicated when your clients are restless spirits and cryptids. A rookie civil servant must use his rare ability to translate non-human tongues to settle supernatural disputes before they tear the city apart.
