Suzume no Tojimari
Suzume
Suzume is a normal high school girl living with her aunt in southern Japan. One day, she meets Souta, a young man looking for ruins in the area. Intrigued, she follows after him and finds a freestanding door in the ruins of a hot springs resort. But when she opens the door, she sees another world—one which eldritch, disaster-causing forces are all too eager to escape from. Yet, no sooner is the door closed then things get worse. Souta finds himself turned into a chair by a talking cat named Daijin—meaning it's now up to Suzume to travel across Japan, closing doors and preventing disasters as they chase Daijin to get Souta his body back.
