What is Kusunoki’s Garden of Gods About?
Enju’s Kusunoki’s Garden of Gods novel launched on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in April 2021, followed by its serialization on Kakuyomu in December of the same year. What’s more, Akira Anzai launched the manga adaptation on Kadokawa’s ComicWalker website in November 2021.
Lastly, Yen Press publishes the light novels in English and describes it as follows:
Deep in the countryside, Minato Kusunoki is left in charge of a terrifying house overflowing with evil spirits—or at least it was, until his extraordinary ability cleared them all out!
Instead, a procession of unique and peculiar gods is drawn to the comfort of the purified Kusunoki residence, and Minato spends his days relaxing in the company of his spiritual neighbors. What else lies in store for Minato as he lives peacefully surrounded by gods?
