About

"Superpowered noodle-shop family fighting escaped demons"

A quiet teenager who's spent his life navigating a disability suddenly gains superhuman strength and is recruited into a secret team of "Counters" who track down evil spirits that have escaped the afterlife and now possess human bodies. By day they run a modest noodle shop; by night they hunt monsters hiding in plain sight. The show blends brisk supernatural action with warm, almost family-sitcom scenes at the shop, and an underlying ache about grief, bullying, and found family. It's breezy and fun more often than dark, carried by likable leads and inventive fight choreography.

Watch it for

the charming found-family dynamic wrapped around genuinely fun, well-choreographed supernatural fight scenes.

Maybe skip if

you want tightly serialized plotting rather than an episodic monster-of-the-week structure.
