The story The Kusunoki’s Garden of Gods first appeared on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in 2021. Later that same year, ASCII Media Works acquired the series for official publication and also launched a manga adaptation. In English, the series is being published by Yen Press.
Yen Press describes the series as follows:
With the arrival of the freewheeling kirin and the stern ho’o, the Kusunoki household is more lively and divine than ever. The garden of gods changes to spring at the whim of the Yamagami, and Minato and the other residents spend their leisurely days watching the cherry blossoms and savoring seasonal delicacies. New beings wander into the garden, and Minato finds his way into other kami realms, proving that springtime truly is the season of new beginnings. Meanwhile, however, the onmyoji find themselves run ragged exterminating the huge number of evil spirits that always seem to rear their heads at this time of year…
