Expected Plot

Since ancient times, there has been a “monster” (kemono) hidden in the shadows of the world and lives in association with people so that people cannot find them.

The story starts when Inugami, an investigator of the occult and supernatural, starts investigating a series of animal bodies that start rotting in a single night in a remote village.

He meets a young boy, nicknamed Dorotabou, who is avoided by the entire village. He discovers that the boy was named after a yokai who lived in the mud, and there was something unnatural about him.

It later becomes clear that outside forces were killing the animals and that Dorotabou was inhuman.

We can expect that the anime would adapt the first five volumes of the manga, depending on the number of episodes.
