How to Keep a Mummy Recap: The Tiny Mummy in the Mail

This How to Keep a Mummy recap starts with the strangest care package in anime. Sora is a shy, kindhearted high schooler whose adventurer dad keeps mailing him dangerous souvenirs, and one day the box contains a living mummy small enough to sit in his palm.

The little mummy, Mii kun, is timid, loyal and endlessly expressive without saying a word, and the series slowly fills Sora’s life with more small supernatural creatures and the friends who care for them. There is no villain here and barely any conflict. The show runs entirely on warmth, and it works.

The recap covers the full story: the arrival, the first scares, the new creatures, the friendships that grow around them and the quiet reason Sora finds it hard to let anyone get close.

If gentle is your speed, our anime recaps hub has plenty more, and the Kotaro Lives Alone recap hits the same soft spot with a sharper edge. Series details are on Wikipedia.
