About
Gintarou is a fox spirit that has been protecting the small Inari temple since the Edo era. Saeki Makoto's family possesses the power to see the gods' agent, but the ability is limited to one living relative at a time.

With the help of fox spirit's power, Makoto and Gintarou help the people of their community, in spite of their many differences.
