The teaser reveals the anime's opening theme song artist and October premiere date.

Nao Tōyama, who voices protagonist Aoi, will perform the anime's opening theme song "Tōryanse."

Joe Yoshizaki (The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows) is directing at the studio GONZO, who is returning from the first season. For the new season, the studio Makaria is also joining the production. Tomoko Konparu (NANA, Kimi ni Todoke - From Me to You) is back to oversee and write the scripts. Hidemi Katsura is the new character designer, and Noriyo Gōroku is now in charge of the art setting and initial color-check art boards.

The anime's first season premiered in April 2018. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan, and Funimation streamed an English dub. Funimation also released the anime on home video in 2019.

The series centers on a female college student named Aoi (voiced by Nao Tōyama), who inherited the ability to see spirits from her late grandfather. Aoi prides herself on her cooking. One day she's feeding some agricultural spirits when suddenly a god and the master of the Tenjin-ya inn appears and takes Aoi away. He says that due to her grandfather's debts, she must become his bride. Aoi hates this idea and instead declares that she will pay back her grandfather's debt by working at the Tenjin-ya.
