Hyoma Kunato has started to settle into life with Botan Nagatsuki and her family of tsukumogami, spirits that inhabit long-used objects, even though the grudge that drives him to hunt their kind hasn't faded. This season opens on that uneasy peace as new tsukumogami cross Hyoma's path. Botan's steady presence keeps pulling him further from vengeance and closer to the family he didn't expect to find. It continues directly from the first season of Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatari.
