When I first started reading this I thought wow this girl (Kochou) is really overworked, used, but she drove forward with a smile on her face because feeling needed by someone is such a strong force. In her human life her parents were gone most of the time so she seemed to raise herself, no real friends only people who dropped their work on her, then the only time someone seemed to genuinely spend time with her was when her uncle came to visit and he'd tell her stories of his travels. She wasn't able to find a true home until she was gifted with the dream of a butterfly by Shirogane, your friendly, wandering, seller of dreams after she dies and his favorite dream seemed to suit her well enough to not only maintain her life but to turn her into something more. I like how all the yokai took some time to get used to her and eventually they grow to really like her and find her interesting for the hybrid she is (human/yokai). Also, when I saw Saku's fox ears right after Shirogane's habit for sleeping whenever he feels like it, I was like I love foxes for one then this story is going to be fun.
