もののがたり [Mononogatari]

In the world of Mononogatari, everyday objects can become vessels for tsukumogami—spirits born from long-cherished items. Running from 2015 to 2023 under Shueisha, this 16-issue series blends Japanese folklore with a modern urban setting, following a young man who seeks to understand and protect these spirits rather than destroy them. Best known for the work of creator Onigunsou, the series offers a thoughtful, action-packed take on the bond between humans and the supernatural objects they love.
