Ep 1. Angels and Tengu Above the Shinjuku Skyline

In the first episode of Midnight occult civil servants, we are introduced to Arata Miyako, a recent graduate who has just started working in the Shinjuku Ward Office located in the busy city of Tokyo. Arata is a bit different from the rest of his colleagues in that he has the ability to understand and communicate with supernatural creatures.

During his first day on the job, Arata is assigned to investigate a strange case involving a Tengu, a mythical creature that resembles a bird with a human-like face, attacking a group of humans in the Shinjuku area. He is accompanied by his supervisor, Seo Himezuka, who is initially skeptical of Arata's abilities.

As they arrive at the scene of the attack, they encounter an Angel, another powerful supernatural being, who seems to be protecting the humans from the Tengu. Arata attempts to communicate with the Angel but is unsuccessful, and the Angel disappears into the sky.

Arata and Seo continue to investigate and eventually come across a group of Tengu who are upset with the humans for building tall buildings that obstruct their flight paths. They believe the humans are disrespecting their territory, hence the attack.

Arata decides to use his ability to communicate with supernatural beings to negotiate with the Tengu and find a way to resolve the conflict peacefully. He convinces them to allow the humans to build higher structures in exchange for leaving open sky paths for the Tengu to fly.

The episode ends with Arata and Seo reflecting on the supernatural world that exists alongside the human world, and the potential for conflict between the two. Arata also acknowledges that his ability to understand supernatural beings may lead to complications in his work as a civil servant.

Overall, Angels and Tengu Above the Shinjuku Skyline serves as a strong introduction to the world of Midnight occult civil servants, highlighting the unique abilities of its protagonist and the potential for conflict between supernatural beings and humans. The episode also sets up future storylines and characters that will undoubtedly play a role in Arata's journey as a civil servant.
