ばけもの夜話づくし [Bakemono no Yawadukushi]

A hauntingly beautiful horror anthology from Kadokawa, Bakemono no Yawadukushi (2016–2023) collects twelve self-contained tales of Japanese yokai and folkloric monsters, each rendered in a distinct, unsettling style. The series is most closely associated with writer and artist Moyoco Anno, whose delicate linework and psychological depth transform familiar ghost stories into intimate, often melancholic character studies. Rather than relying on jump scares, it explores the quiet dread and poignant humanity lurking within supernatural encounters, making it a standout in modern horror manga.
