Story
Jiro Azuma inherits lineage from the Shinob clan and possesses a special ability to communicate with animals. Though he looks rough on the outside, he has a gentle heart when dealing with small creatures — and it is precisely this love of animals that draws him into a grave crisis. When a cat spirit merges with his body, he gains power beyond the natural order, but is simultaneously dragged into the hidden war between humans and powerful demon spirits.
