From Viz: Although he may appear rough-and-tumble, Jiro Azuma’s compassionate side emerges when it comes to the furry critters he can communicate with. But Jiro's soft spot for animals gets him in major trouble when a suspicious stray cat fuses with him, granting him exceptional power but also dragging him into humanity's hidden battle against powerful Japanese spirits, mononoke. **Official Japanese:** [Mechacomic](https://mechacomic.jp/books/113487), [Piccoma](https://piccoma.com/web/product/22005?etype=episode), [Shounen Jump+](https://shonenjumpplus.com/episode/10834108156629429728), [Shueisha](https://www.shueisha.co.jp/books/items/contents.html?isbn=978-4-08-881097-3), [Yangjan+](https://ynjn.jp/comicList/2888), [Zebrack](https://zebrack-comic.shueisha.co.jp/title/107) Official English: [ Manga Plus](https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100521), [Viz](https://www.viz.com/manga-books/black-torch/series/549/section/61168/more)
