Shō Aimoto’s supernatural mystery manga Kemono Jihen will conclude with its upcoming 26th collected volume. The announcement appeared in volume 25, which was released in Japan on August 4, although Shueisha has not yet announced a publication date for the final book.


Kemono Jihen began serialization in Shueisha’s Jump SQ. magazine in December 2016, giving the series a run of nearly 10 years. The story follows occult detective Kohachi Inugami and Kabane, a supernatural boy he encounters while investigating unexplained animal deaths in a rural village.


The manga also inspired a 12-episode television anime that aired in 2021. Seven Seas Entertainment publishes the series in English and has scheduled releases through volume 24, meaning English-language readers will have to wait longer to reach the conclusion.
