What is KAMUI: He's Behind You All About?
Prepare for a wild ride as the anime introduces us to Shizuka Mimizuka, a seemingly normal high school student with an extraordinary problem: she's a ghost magnet. Her unique constitution attracts all sorts of malevolent spirits, turning her everyday life into a supernatural magnet. Enter Kamui, a powerful and handsome psychic who recognizes her unique ability (and her impressive running speed). He hires her as his official assistant – and, rather unconventionally, as his live bait.
Kamui's methods for purifying the supernatural are anything but conventional. Fueled by his peculiar attraction to ghosts, his exorcisms are described as wildly intimate and incredibly lewd. The series explores whether Shizuka can ever achieve her dream of a normal school life while constantly being pulled into a parade of bizarre paranormal incidents. This truly is a "super" ecchi exorcism comedy that defies expectations!
