The Eccentric Family

In Kyoto, tanuki and tengu have long lived in the city’s shadows, sharing the streets with humans who remain unaware of their presence. Yasaburou Shimogamo, the third son of a prominent tanuki household, drifts through his days with an easygoing spirit—tending to an elderly tengu, slipping into different forms through shapeshifting, and crossing paths with the enigmatic Benten.

Yet beneath the city’s calm lies an old wound: Yasaburou’s father, once the leader of the tanuki community, was killed and eaten by humans known as the Friday Fellows. As the Shimogamo brothers navigate their own dangers and rivalries, they edge closer to the truth behind that night, fighting to avoid a fate as brutal as their father’s.
