The Policeman and the Maneki Neko: The Mysterious Daily Life of an Ayakashi Town

Yusuke Komaki, a police officer, is assigned to a police box in Katsubushi-cho, a downtown shopping district in a seaside town, where a mysterious cat named Omochi, who speaks human language, has been living for a long time. "As long as you're willing to listen to the voice of the person you're talking to, you'll be able to get by." There are many legends about Omochi-san, being loved by the townspeople, and that if you touch her, your wish will come true, or if you give her a treat, something good will happen. But no one knows if it's true or not. They are surrounded not only by friendly townspeople but also by various spirits, "ayakashi." They get caught up in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons ("Hyakki-Yagyou"), are returned the favor by a kappa, and are suddenly spirited away! A strange and gentle story that takes place at the intersection of people and non-human things. Source: Micro Magazine
