Synopsis:

In a secluded rural village, detective Kohachi Inugami investigates unsettling occurrences: livestock found grotesquely mutilated and decaying. His inquiry leads him to Dorotabou, a solitary young farmhand ostracized by the community due to his unusual odor and appearance. Intrigued by Dorotabou's isolation, Inugami reluctantly partners with him in the investigation, defying the villagers’ disapproval.

This unlikely duo uncovers a hidden reality – the existence of Kemono, beast-like entities living alongside humans. As they delve deeper into the mystery behind the livestock deaths, Dorotabou is exposed to a world beyond his understanding, potentially offering him a sense of belonging and purpose he has never known. The series explores themes of prejudice, acceptance, and the blurred lines between the natural and supernatural within a quiet, atmospheric setting.
