JIUJIU -獣従- [Jiu Jiu]

In this short but striking supernatural fantasy from Hakusensha (2009–2012), artist and writer トビナトウヤ weaves a tale of a young woman bound to a powerful, otherworldly beast. Over its five-issue run, the series explores the tense, evolving relationship between human and creature, set against a backdrop of ancient magic and modern-day Japan. Though brief, Jiu Jiu stands out for its atmospheric art and its poignant take on loyalty and transformation.
