Overview
Shoko and Maiko Ougi are apparently two ordinary schoolgirls in pursuit of graduating and having fun. Shii-chan is the more serious while Mai-chan is more fun-loving. In reality, the two sisters are powerful exorcists from the Karura temple. Each wields half the power… Shii-chan can see the spirits, and Mai-chan can banish them. This is a spooky series with heavy emphasis on traditionally Japanese occult themes.

Viewing Notes
This was a pretty neat find on YT and one I hadn’t heard of until now. However, it didn’t have English subs so I watched with only half understanding what was happening. Fortunately it’s not all that complex but a lot of the occult / evil spirit traditional japanese stuff was lost on me. But battling the evil spirits was easy to grasp and often bloody affairs. Kinda like a Junji Ito story (it’s not but similar). If there is a subtitle version I’d watch this again.
