The Man in the Monster's Shell

Long ago, in the impoverished village of Shiiba in Hyuuga, a young man named Yosuke abandons his work, dreaming of a life of luxury without effort. One night, he flees into the mountains and witnesses a strange sight: a blue ogre clinging to a large cedar tree sheds its skin and transforms into a red ogre. Seizing the opportunity, Yosuke steals the discarded skin and wears it to commit crimes in the village.

But when he tries to remove the skin, he finds it stuck to his body. No matter what he does, he cannot take it off. Trapped in the monster's shell, Yosuke must face the consequences of his greed and deception.
