“Malevolent Spirits: Monogatari”: A new Series for Monogatari Lovers
The company describes the story as;
When spirits cross over into the human world, they can possess old objects and gain a physical form. These are known as a tsukumogami. Tsukumogami can be gentle, violent, or somewhere in between. So, the Saenome clan peacefully helps send them back into the spirit world to avoid destruction.
Kunato Hyouma is a member of the clan but is… less peaceful ever since a tsukumogami robbed him of something important. Afraid that Hyouma’s brash anger in dealing with these spirits will lead to supernatural catastrophe, Hyouma’s grandfather sends him to live in Kyoto. There, he meets Nagatsuki Botan, an unusual young woman who actually lives with tsukumogami family! Can Hyouma learn to control his emotions when dealing with tsukumogami, or is his own spirit doomed to be possessed with rage forever?
Onigunso first launched the manga in Shueisha’s Miracle Jump magazine in April 2014. It then switched to Ultra Jump in January 2016. The manga also runs on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ website.
As of now, it is unable to tell if the series will connect to the other Monogatari series.
