What Happened in KAMUI: He’s Behind You Episode 1
Episode 1 introduced the main characters and set up the central conflict of the series. The story revolves around Shizuka Mimizuka, a high school girl who has the ability to see ghosts. Because of this power, she constantly attracts spirits, which makes her life difficult.
Shizuka works as an assistant to Kamui, a famous psychic. Kamui is confident in his spiritual powers, but his methods of exorcism are far from normal. The first episode showed how Shizuka and Kamui met and how their unusual partnership began. Kamui uses Shizuka as “live bait” to attract ghosts because of her supernatural magnetism. He then performs exorcisms in ways that are both strange and comedic.
The episode also introduced other characters, including Oichi, a tsukumogami (a type of spirit), and Kyōko, Shizuka’s classmate who is terrified of scary things. The premiere established the show’s tone, mixing horror, comedy, and mature humor. It ended with Kamui and Shizuka facing their first major supernatural case together.
A key moment in Episode 1 involved a ghost named Mary-san. Shizuka was pursued by Mary-san through phones and hallways, but it turned out to be a trap set by Kamui.
What Happened in KAMUI: He’s Behind You Episode 2
Episode 2 aired on July 10, 2026. The story for Episode 2 was titled “Shizuka’s Peace is Shattered”. The episode continued Shizuka’s struggles with her ability to see ghosts and her work as Kamui’s assistant.
In Episode 2, Shizuka’s peaceful school life was interrupted by more supernatural incidents. Kamui’s unusual exorcism methods were once again on full display. The episode also gave more screen time to supporting characters like Oichi and Kyōko. Oichi, a tsukumogami, added a new dynamic to the story. Kyōko, who is afraid of scary things, found herself caught up in the paranormal chaos.
The episode maintained the show’s signature mix of horror and comedy. It also continued to build the relationship between Shizuka and Kamui. Shizuka is slowly learning to handle her abilities, even though she still wants a normal life. Kamui remains confident and unbothered by the strange situations they face.
What to Expect From KAMUI: He’s Behind You Episode 3
Episode 3 is scheduled for July 18, 2026. While the full story details for Episode 3 have not been released yet, the series is expected to continue following the manga’s plot. The anime adapts the web manga by Eroki and Shinko Konoshiro, which began serialization on Shogakukan’s Ura Sunday and MangaONE services in March 2020.
The series follows a formula where Shizuka attracts ghosts, and Kamui deals with them using his unusual methods. Episode 3 will likely introduce a new ghost or supernatural case. Viewers can expect more comedic moments mixed with mature humor. The show’s unique approach to exorcism is a big part of its appeal.
Kamui’s character is a major draw. He boasts overwhelming spiritual power but has a bizarre secret. He only gets turned on by ghosts and apparitions. His methods for purifying the supernatural are intimate and lewd. This unusual premise sets the series apart from other ghost-hunting anime.
Shizuka’s character also continues to develop. She is a self-proclaimed “ordinary” high school girl. But her ability to attract ghosts makes her anything but ordinary. She is caught between her desire for a normal life and her job as Kamui’s assistant. Episode 3 will likely explore this conflict further.
