Hello, students of the strange, and welcome to the Yokai University! We’re coming back from hiatus to share more fun facts and history about the world of Yokai in Japan. To commemorate our Yokai club reboot and the rerelease of The Little Mermaid this lesson is all about the origins of Amabie - a prophetic mer-monster. Thanks for joining this makeup lesson here on the podcast and be sure to enroll at the YU (subscribe) for more stories about Yokai on YouTube!

I never thought I'd be so happy to be in quarantine!
