Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the manga series Kemono Jihen by Sho Aimoto. Prepare for a monstrously good time with this action-packed mystery about a detective and a supernatural boy investigating the occult–which inspired the anime!
Inugami is a Tokyo detective who specializes in the occult. One day, answering a call to a remote village leads him to Dorotabo: a peculiar boy nicknamed after a yokai that haunts muddy rice paddies. The boy has no parents and is somewhat unnerving, emitting a foul odor that draws the ire of those around him. Inugami, however, quickly realizes that there’s something more monstrous about Dorotabo than just his nickname–a fact proven when the two of them investigate an inhuman creature attacking local livestock. Perhaps Inugami can take this mistreated boy under his wing and train him to face the secret, supernatural beasts hidden in the world…using the eerie powers of his own body. Don’t miss this action-packed shonen series!
Kemono Jihen Volume 1 will be released for the first time in North America in August 2022 for $13.99 USA / $17.99 CAN, available in print and on digital platforms in single volume editions.
