Ayashimon

When a young boy with an unusual obsession for manga heroes and an even more unusual superhuman strength finds himself adrift in the bustling, supernatural underworld of Shinjuku, his life takes an unexpected turn. Despite his dreams of becoming a manga protagonist, he quickly learns that the real world of yokai and yakuza operates on a different set of rules than the fictional adventures he cherishes. Thrown into a world of bizarre characters and dangerous power struggles, he must navigate the treacherous landscape of organized crime, where ancient spirits and modern thugs clash for control. Can a boy whose only guide is shonen manga tropes survive—and perhaps even thrive—in a city where every shadow hides a secret and every alley a potential threat?
