Story
Jiro Azuma comes from a long line of shinobi and possesses the rare ability to communicate with animals. Beneath his rough exterior lies a soft spot for furry creatures — but that very weakness lands him in serious trouble when a mysterious stray cat fuses with his body. The fusion grants him extraordinary power while simultaneously pulling him into humanity’s secret war against fearsome, powerful spirits.
The original manga by Takaki (Heart Gear) launched in Shueisha’s Jump Square magazine in December 2016 and concluded with its fifth compiled volume in August 2018. Viz Media publishes the manga in English.
