ようきなやつら
A collection of bizarre and astonishing stories centered on yokai, the supernatural creatures of Japanese folklore. From the mischievous kamaitachi of Tokyo to a satori who tests the limits of patience, each tale presents a different encounter between humans and the strange beings that inhabit their world. The stories explore the unsettling, often ironic, ways in which these creatures interact with ordinary life.
As the narratives unfold, the boundary between the natural and the supernatural blurs, revealing the psychological weight of these meetings. Some stories delve into the quiet horror of a river tainted by dark forces, while others focus on the haunting presence of spirits tied to mountains or lost souls. Each chapter offers a self-contained glimpse into a world where the eerie lurks just beneath the surface of everyday reality.
The collection culminates in the title story, an original work newly drawn for this volume, which weaves together the recurring themes of curiosity, fear, and the strange beauty of the unknown. Through a mix of dark humor and psychological tension, these seven stories invite readers to question what they truly know about the world around them.
