Another popular Japanese light novel is being adapted into an anime series that's due out in 2018. What wonders and challenges will the supernatural world be featuring through the eyes of series protagonist Aoi on "Kakuriyo no Yudomeshi"?

And it was while feeding a group of agricultural spirits that a demon god comes and takes her to the underworld to pay for her grandfather's debts by being the said demon god's bride.
