Youkai Ningen Bem

In a world where humanity often recoils from the unknown, three grotesque yet benevolent figures wander the shadows: Bem, Bela, and Belo. These "Youkai Ningen," or Monster Humans, are neither fully human nor fully demon, existing in a liminal space that evokes fear and prejudice from the very people they strive to protect. Their tireless quest is simple: to defend humankind from malevolent spirits and, in doing so, earn the right to become human themselves. Each encounter is a poignant exploration of identity, prejudice, and the true meaning of heroism. As they battle supernatural threats and navigate a society that shuns them, Bem, Bela, and Belo grapple with their own monstrous appearances and the enduring hope that one day, their good deeds will finally transform them into the beings they long to be.
