Kimihiro Watanuki, a high school student plagued by spirits only he can see, stumbles into a mysterious shop run by the witch Yuko Ichihara. Yuko offers to rid him of his unwanted sight, for a price equal to the wish. Unable to pay in money, Watanuki becomes her live-in cook, cleaner, and errand runner, drawn into odd jobs that bring him face to face with human clients and supernatural visitors alike alongside his reluctant companion Shizuka Domeki and his classmate Himawari Kunogi.
