“I am greatly honored to announce that TASOKARE HOTEL will be adapted into an anime,” says Benoma Ray and SEEC, the original author and concept creator. “To all those who have loved the original work and to those who will encounter this story through the anime, I express my heartfelt gratitude.”
Benoma Ray and SEEC continued, “The anime version incorporates developments that add unique charm only possible in this medium. We have crafted a work that will bring new surprises and emotions even to fans of the original, and I hope that the story of TASOKARE HOTEL resonates with your hearts and that you enjoy it. Please look forward to it. Thank you for your continued support.”
TASOKARE HOTEL is a hotel that is engulfed in twilight all day long, with no distinction between day and night. It exists as a place between life and death, where souls unable to decide whether to move on to the afterlife or return to the present world can rest their wings. The protagonist, Neko Tsukahara, wanders into TASOKARE HOTEL without remembering who she is or why she’s there.
Guided by the hotel staff, she is led to her room. In the room, there should be items related to the customer’s memories. These might serve as clues to help the customer regain their memories. While searching for a way to return to the present world and remember who she is, she encounters a certain incident.
