On This Day in Anime

Fifteen years ago, the world met Ririchiyo Shirakiin and her SS-class bodyguard, Mikage Soushi, with the premiere of Inu X Boku Secret Service. This anime series, adapted from Cocoa Fujiwara's manga, dove into a bizarre world where humans and demons coexist, and a select few live in a luxurious, isolated mansion. The show quickly garnered attention for its blend of supernatural action, sharp comedy, and surprisingly heartfelt romance, all wrapped in a stylish aesthetic.

Fans still flock to this series for its unique premise and the dynamic between its eccentric cast of characters, particularly the evolving relationship between Ririchiyo and Soushi. It’s a story that probes the nature of connection and acceptance, making it more than just a supernatural romp but a commentary on finding one's place in a world that often feels isolating.
