Synopsis
A hostess at a nearby inn assigns Kohachi Inugami, a detective with expertise in the supernatural, to look into a series of occurrences involving rotting and dismembered cattle bodies that have started showing up seemingly out of the blue in a lonely village in rural Japan. Inugami spots a strange young lad laboring in the fields as he surveys the area. The teenage farmhand, who is shunned by his classmates and known as "Dorotabou" because of his smell, is shocked that anyone would be interested in him. Despite the villagers' scornful looks, Inugami recruits Dorotabou to assist him in the inquiry because he is curious. Unbeknownst to Dorotabou, this inquiry would open his eyes to a bizarre new world—one in which the beast-like creatures known as Kemono coexist with people—and give his formerly meaningless existence a new direction.
