BLACK TORCH, created by Tsuyoshi Takaki, was first serialized in Shueisha’s Jump Square and Shonen Jump+ from 2017 to 2018. VIZ Media describes the story as follows:
Although he may appear rough-and-tumble, Jiro Azuma’s compassionate side emerges when it comes to the furry critters he can communicate with. But Jiro’s soft spot for animals gets him in major trouble when a suspicious stray cat fuses with him, granting him exceptional power but also dragging him into humanity’s hidden battle against powerful Japanese spirits, mononoke.
