You can stream The Morose Mononokean (2016) on Crunchyroll with a subscription.

Ashiya has spent the first seven days of high school stuck in the infirmary because of a youkai attaching itself to him. He ends up asking the owner of a small tea room called the "Mononokean" for help. This is a tale involving the very morose owner of Mononokean guiding the youkai that happened to wander into this world go to the next world.

Forget typical battle-heavy supernatural action for a quiet, tea-scented ritual of spirit management. This series replaces frantic combat with the melancholic, methodical task of guiding lost youkai back to their proper realms.
