KAMUI: He's Behind You Anime to Stream on OceanVeil on July 3

OceanVeil announced on Monday that it will stream the television anime of author Eroki and artist Shinko Konoshiro's KAMUI: He's Behind You (Ushiro no Shōmen Kamui-san) manga beginning on July 3 at 9:30 a.m. PDT (12:30 p.m. EDT).

The anime will premiere on Tokyo MX on July 3 at 25:30 (effectively, July 4 at 1:30 a.m. JST), and on BS11 on July 7.

OceanVeil describes the story:

Shizuka Mimizuka is a self-proclaimed "ordinary" high school girl with a massive, terrifying catch—she has a unique constitution that naturally acts as an absolute magnet for ghosts and malevolent spirits. Recognizing her supernatural allure (and her lightning-fast running skills), the famous psychic Kamui hires her to be his official assistant... and live bait. 

Kamui boasts overwhelming spiritual power and looks like a drop-dead gorgeous heartthrob, but he harbors a bizarre, total-degenerate secret: he only gets turned on by ghosts and apparitions! His methods for purifying the supernatural are entirely unprecedented, wildly intimate, and incredibly lewd. Can Shizuka ever achieve her dream of a normal school life while being dragged into a parade of bizarre paranormal incidents? The curtain rises on a "super" ecchi exorcism comedy!

• Tomokazu Sugita as Kamui
