Rikuo Nura, a kid that is part human and a quarter youkai (demon), lives in a house full of spirits along with his grandfather. Trying to escape his fate of acting like a demon, he does good deeds in order to avoid becoming one. Despite his grandfather's wish to succeed him as master of the Nurari youkai clan.

What makes Hana-Saku Iroha work so well from the outset is the way it tweaks all the usual teenage clichés—parental figures actually declare their intention to leave instead of being assumed nonexistent; the heroine takes matters into her own hands instead of being forced to move; even a standard confession of love comes with its own particular charm. And the characters themselves, with their carefully animated expressions and gestures, feel like genuine people with thoughts and feelings, not the stock anime stereotypes that show up all too often.
Even the scenery seems to have a life of its own—the sunset reflecting off steel and glass in the city when Ohana contemplates her predictable future, the picturesque greens and blues as she takes the train ride out to escape that future, and the views from the grounds of the inn itself, reminding us that there are still oases of nature-filled beauty in the modern world.
And as this thoughtful episode points out, sometimes poison water lurks at the bottom of the oasis.
