Kemono Jihen

When a series of animal bodies that rot away after a single night begin appearing in a remote mountain village,

Inugami, a detective from Tokyo who specializes in the occult,

is called to investigate.
While working the case, he befriends a strange boy who works in the field every day instead of going to school.

Shunned by his peers and nicknamed “Dorotabou” after a yokai that lives in the mud,

he helps Inugami uncover the truth behind the killings – but supernatural forces are at work,

and while Dorotabou is just a nickname, it might not be the only thing about the boy that isn’t human.
