It will be revealed in the May edition of this year's Kodansha's Monthly Shounen Sirius magazine that light novel Youkai Apartment no Yuuga na Nichijou (Refined Daily at the Supernatural Entity Apartment) will be receiving a TV anime adaptation in Summer 2017. More information will be revealed on the next issue.

Synopsis
Inaba Yuushi's parents died in his first year of middle school, and he moved in with his relatives. Though they did care for him, he could tell he was a burden. After he graduated, he happily prepared to move to a high school with a dormitory. Unfortunately, the dormitory burned to the ground before he could move in! Yuushi doesn't want to live with his grudging relatives, but it's rough finding lodging as an orphaned student with little money. He finally finds a room in a nice old building which seems too good to be true.

The catch is that it is a Monster House, a place where humans and supernatural creatures—ghosts, mononoke, etc.—live together. Another high schooler lives there, a cute girl named Akine, and she's completely unfazed by the monsters. In fact, she can even exorcise evil spirits! Yuushi's high school life just got much stranger than he ever bargained for! (Source: MangaHelpers)

The series is written by Hinowa Kouzuki and ran between October 2003 and March 2009 for a total of 10 volumes. A manga adaptation by Waka Miyama has been serialized in Monthly Shounen Sirius since May 2011 with 12 volumes in publishing. The 13th compiled volume is shipping on April 7.

This sounds like Natsume Yuujinchou and similar shows to me.

This one sounds like more snorefest version of Mononoke.

Would rather get second season of Ryoukujouma. This being a finished series sounds like its only saving grace.

I know the LN came out beforehand, but... the synopsis honestly kind of reminds me of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

it has lot bishies and some fujo tease, but this was not gay at all... this mainly spiritual series if anything... also it's adapted mainly from LN anyways, and pretty sure LN will has less things like this...

it doesn't really like mononoke, like at all.. except some fucked up spiritual undertone... also this one is older than mononoke anime IIRC...

Judging by the summary it sounds very interesting. Would give it a try when they do release it.

I started the light novel of this a while ago, but dropped it after reading only half of the first volume. It was really just a children's book, very shallow in content, trying to impose some values on the reader, and extremely boring overall.

Maybe the anime/manga adaptations will be better, but I don't have much expectations from it.

I've only read the manga version but given that the LN is completed, we may be getting a full adaptation.

I like Yokai as much as the next person... but this isn't really selling me to be fairly honest? I mean I am not sure.

At first glance it seems uninteresting BUT if one manages to understand what is it, then he/she must shout: INTERESTING! I am in

yes story like this should get adapted more often per season.

I like yokai/slice of life stuff a lot, but I hope this won't turn out to be as lame as Kiitarou Shounen no Youkai Enikki.

It's SoL (and supernatural) but mostly SoL through and through. Kinda what would be if Natsume Yuujinchou got all sentimental.

So Mononokean level of lite fujo? Characters were ok but tad boring, also didn't need cg monsters trying to act sad.

no, it was mainly sol and spiritual... thats how is it... the closest one i can think of is mix between natsume supranatural and bokura wa minna kawaisou SOL... it's main focus is MC and apartement and event happened around it... it doesn't really have overreaching plot... there are some sad moment, but i don't see how it will be CGI...
