Tomoshibi no Manimani (灯火のまにまに) Kakuriyo no YadomeshiHailing from a 2018 Anime series and starring renowned voice actress Nao Tōyama (東山奈央) as its singer, this is the first opening theme for the eponymous Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi (lit. 'Afterlife Inn Cooking') light novel series by writer Midori Yūma and illustrator Laruha.
Inheriting from her grandfather the talent of seeing the water-surface-related youkai collectively known as Ayakashi, college student Aoi Tsubaki gets one day conjured to the Hidden Realm where they all live due to a heritage debt contracted by her same late grandfather to an ogre by the name of Odanna. The ogre was granted to get the late human's niece in hand for marriage ro repay the deby, but Aoi managed to haggle the debt's terms with her getting to work at Tenjin'ya, the ogre's inn at the Hidden Realm. Kakuryo no Ydomeshi is currently an ongoing story, spanning 11 light novels and a 26-episodes Anime series from animation studio Gonzo that roughly covers the events of the first five.
Boasting over 340k copies of printed works to this day, the series also branched out into different fields, from an ongoing manga serialization illustrated by Waco Ioka to the announcement of a proper stage play in late 2018. As you can see from the embeded video above, English-speaking audiences have their own official means to watch a localization of its Anime series, now named in the West as 'Kakuriyo: Bed & Breakfast for Spirits'.
