Short Summary:
Shizuru is able to see things other people can't see. Together with her little sister Mizuki, who gets easily posessed by demons and similar unnatural things, she lives at her grandparents' house, because their grandfather knows a lot about demons.
It's short befor the harvest full moon, so Mizuki is looking for the seven flowers of autumn, to make her granny happy, but so far she's only found five of them. When she's looking for the "ndeshiko" one afternoon a black shadow appears behind her and Mizuki can feel its presence but her sister comes to look for her and the shadow vanishes. Later the two sister look together for the missing flowers, when the shadow appears again in front of Mizuki till she collapses. Shizuru gets a last glimpse of the shadow and carries her unconscious sister home. She's feeling sad, as she was not able to protect her, so her grandfather tells her she met a so called Mikoshi and that she has to overcome her fear.
The next day Mizuki is ill and supposed to be in bed. Instead Shizuru promises to search for the last flower, meanwhile they have found the "nadeshiko". But of course Mizuki sneaks out of the house and goes looking for herself. When the sun is almost setting down she reaches a mountain pass her grandpa gave her a warning of, tsill she decides to run there and find the flower. By accident her older sister Shizuru sees her running up the hill, so she follows her just to arrive in time Mizuki collapses again in front of the giant shadow. First Shizuru is too afraid to act, but then she calms down and makes the Mikoshi vanish.
Mizuki opens her eyes and is happy to be alive and what a suprise, she finds the last flower. The siblings return home and talk about their worries, that they can't rely on the help of their grandfather forever.
This night the whole family sits in front of the house and watches the full moon with the seven flowers of autumn next to them.
My opinion:
Though the story is supposed to be at least a bit scary I did not find myself worrying about Mizuki, it was clear Shizuru would come to help her and now I'm afraid every episode might have that pattern. A demon appears, the siblings have to overcome their fears and everything is fine.
I don't want to sound to negative about "Mokke", it's cute and enterntaining after all, but I'm not sure about watching it 26 episodes.
