Jiro only aspires to live in peace, and yet he is a real problem magnet: not only does he belong to a lineage of ninjas, but he also has the ability to communicate with animals! So when he finds a mysterious black cat in bad shape, he doesn't hesitate for a second to help him.
In terms of feline, he took in Rago, a super-powerful Mononoke! These supernatural creatures, capable of devouring humans, usually live in hiding... But Rago is on the run, pursued by exorcists as well as by his own peers! It doesn't take long for a demon to track him down, and an epic battle begins. Jiro, unbeatable against simple humans, is no match for a monster... To save his benefactor from death, Rago has no other option than to resort to a possession technique. A human and a Mononoke combined in the same body, we've never seen that! Exorcists or spirits, which side will they choose?
The boundaries of good and evil blur in this explosive shonen with no downtime! Black Torch reinvents the ninja story in a modern and dynamic vein. Don't be fooled by appearances: cats aren't necessarily cute or cuddly, and demons aren't always what you think!
