Tsugumomo


While Kazuya Kagami doesn't remember much about his mother, he has always carried her Obi around with him because of how it calmed him. One day, after getting lectured for falling asleep in class by the Class Rep and his childhood friend Chisato Chikaishi, Kazuya heads to the roof of the school to get away. It is there that he sees what looks like a wig lying on the ground. While he walks away planning to ignore it, it comes alive and attacks him. He then hears a voice letting him know that it is an Amasogi. A supernatural creature that possesses an object when someone has a strong wish. Before Kazuya can react he is pushed off the roof by the Amasogi. Right before he is about to die he is saved from his fall. Then as cloth starts to flow around in an orb shape a girl appears. She smiles and says its been awhile. Unfortunately Kazuya has no memory of this girl. After she helps to fight off the Amasogi, he learns that this girl Kiriha is a Tsukumogami or object that has obtained sentience. Kiriha happens to be the Obi that Kazuya always carried around with him. Not long after both of them are summoned to the local shrine where they are met by a woman wearing a mask claiming to be the area's local goddess. She tells Kazuya that he attracts Amasogi and to deal with this she wants him to work with Kiriha to deal with them and make the city safer. While Kiriha is against it at first, they eventually agree after having a fight with Kukuri who uses her powers as a Water Goddess to attack them.   

Tsugumomo was an interesting anime. It was similar to Omamori Himari except instead of a cat like Himari, Kiriha is an Obi. If you are someone who tries to avoid the Ecchi genre then this is not for you. There is a bath scene in each episode, as well as multiple times where Kiriha sleeps in bed with Kazuya. This is good for people who don't like overpowered main characters though. In Tsugumomo you get to see Kazuya go from knowing nothing about fighting to holding himself against someone who has trained to fight Amasogi since childhood. If you think that this sounds interesting you can feel free to give it a try. I would suggest watching it in English Dub because the subtitles don't appear when the character speaks them. It only appears after they have talked so its hard to focus and understand what's going on. Another downside is that there is a lot of text that doesn't get translated. I had to take pictures of the text and put it into google translate to understand whats going on.
