About The Demon Prince of Momochi House
The Demon Prince of Momochi House is a supernatural shojo romance anime adapted from Aya Shouoto's long-running manga, which was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Asuka magazine across sixteen volumes. The 2024 television series was animated by Studio Drive and follows Himari Momochi, a sixteen-year-old orphan who unexpectedly inherits a sprawling old estate on her birthday. When she arrives to claim her new home, she discovers it is anything but ordinary.
Momochi House sits on the boundary between the human world and the spirit realm, and it is already occupied by three mysterious young men who serve as its guardians. Chief among them is Aoi Nanamori, a gentle boy who transforms into the powerful spirit-protector known as the Nue. Himari learns that she was the destined Omamori-sama, the guardian meant to seal the house and keep wayward spirits in check, but that sacred role has already been taken on by Aoi, who bears its heavy burden in her place.
Rather than leave, Himari resolves to stay and help the household, slowly earning the trust of Aoi and his companions Yukari and Ise. As she becomes entangled in the affairs of the ayakashi who pass through the gates of Momochi House, a tender and complicated bond grows between her and Aoi, who can never fully leave the estate. The series blends folklore, warmhearted slice-of-life moments, and a slow-burn romance into a gentle, atmospheric story about belonging and the families we choose.
