What is In/Spectre?
In/Spectre is a twelve-episode supernatural mystery series that aired in winter 2020. The show centers on Kotoko Iwanaga, a young woman who serves as a mediator between the human and spirit worlds after becoming the youkai's "God of Wisdom" years earlier. When she encounters Kurou Sakuragawa, a university student with a mysterious past, she sees an opportunity to grow closer to him while using his help to resolve increasingly complex supernatural cases. The series blends mystery and romance as Kotoko investigates problems brought by youkai, all while pursuing her romantic interest in Kurou.
This completed series combines comedy with its supernatural mystery elements, creating a lighthearted tone despite the darker premise of spirit-world diplomacy. The dynamic between Kotoko's enthusiastic personality and Kurou's reserved demeanor drives much of the show's charm. In/Spectre is finished airing, so all twelve episodes are available for viewing. The series suits viewers who enjoy character-driven narratives that balance humor with supernatural intrigue, and who appreciate romance subplots that develop naturally alongside the main plot.
At the young age of 11, Kotoko Iwanaga was abducted by youkai for two weeks and asked to become their "God of Wisdom," a mediator between the spirit and human worlds, to which the girl quickly agreed but at the cost of her right eye and left leg. Now, six years later, whenever youkai wish for their problems to be solved, they make their way to Kotoko for consultation. Meanwhile, Kurou Sakuragawa, a 22-year-old university student, has just broken up with his girlfriend after he fled alone when the two encountered a kappa. Seeing this as her chance to become closer with him, Kotoko immediately makes her move, hoping to get married to Kurou one day. However, she quickly realizes there is something more to Kurou. With this knowledge, she asks for his help in solving the various issues presented by the supernatural, all the while wishing her newfound partner will eventually reciprocate her feelings.
