Complete anime guide

Black Torch: story, themes, characters and adaptation

Black Torch: premise and starting point

Jiro can understand animals and has inherited ninjutsu, but his attempt to protect an injured black cat changes his body and social world. The cat is Rago, a mononoke whose enemies force their uneasy partnership into public conflict.

What makes Black Torch distinct

The compact premise builds action around cooperation between two proud personalities sharing power. Jiro's instinct to help non-human beings complicates the agency's defensive mission and its assumptions about mononoke.
