Is the Anime Really Finished?#
If you are planning to dive into Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs, the big question is whether the anime provides a complete ending. While the anime adaptation allows you to experience the paranormal hijinks of the Yuragi-sō inn, it is important to look at the source material for the full picture.
According to our data, the original manga ran from February 2016 until its conclusion in June 2020. Because the anime adaptation premiered in 2018—well before the manga finished its run—viewers who only watch the anime will likely find themselves wanting more. To get the fully satisfying conclusion to Kogarashi and Yuuna’s story, you will need to continue with the manga.
If you’re ready to see how the story truly ends, you can buy the manga here.
What to Expect: Themes and Appeal#
Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs is a delightful blend of comedy, romance, and the supernatural. The story follows Kogarashi, a high school student who has been cursed to see ghosts since birth. His life takes a turn when he finds a haunted inn that offers rent-free living to anyone capable of exorcising the resident ghost.
Rather than purifying the ghost—a young girl named Yuuna—Kogarashi decides to help her move on. This setup creates a charming dynamic filled with supernatural mishaps and evolving relationships as Kogarashi interacts with both the ghostly residents of the inn and his new schoolmates. It is an ideal series for fans who enjoy lighthearted romantic comedies with a paranormal twist.
If you want to experience this chaos for yourself, you can watch the anime on Prime Video.
