Similar to Orenchi no Furo Jijo, these are very short 3 minute (of which a chunk is the credits) episodes of weirdness. I mean, I've written battle scenes with a talking cat army but this is a whole other level of odd.
Tomari Hinowa is a high schooler and is picked out of a yearbook to be Kanenogi's wife. Kanenogi is a big fluffy non-speaking thing that eats concrete. And Hinowa isn't the only one -- some of his fellow school friends are also married to a wide variety of creatures -- a hair-losing curse-giving Pokemon-like pink fluff ball, an animated mummy-bandage-person who can't speak but communicates via writing, and twin one-eyed cyclops-ish girls. At least they talk though. Sister-husbands? I dunno.
It's basically little spurts of "happy married life" anecdotes covering anniversaries, school athletic festivals, and sakura blossom viewing. It is So. Damn. Weird.
Like, literally, you can't think about it too hard or too much. None of it makes sense. There's no backstory. There's no plot. There's no explanation whatsoever why a bunch of high school boys are being married off to essentially yokai. I mean, I can think of some reasons, but there are NONE given in the show. It is just unapologetically "it iswhat it is". Fluff. Fluffy fluff, just like Kanenogi's fur.
It's charming and adorable and very, very, very weird.
