Kemonozume
ケモノヅメ , The Beast Claw
Creatures called Shokujinki have lived secretly among humans for hundreds of years. They look human, but they can turn into uncontrollable beasts with giant claws and eat people to survive. The Kifuuken dojo, just as secret, specializes in killing Shokujinki by cutting off their arms, and it is the only force stopping the Shokujinki from taking over completely. Toshihiko Momota, son of the Kifuuken's leader, is immediately drawn to a mysterious woman named Yuka Kamitsuki. Their relationship is complicated, though, because neither of them knows that Yuka is a Shokujinki and Toshihiko has sworn to kill her. At the same time, the Kifuuken is struggling with doubt as Toshihiko's brother Kazuma pushes against tradition and tries to modernize the dojo. As feelings are strained and secrets from both the past and present come out, who will live, and who will be eaten?
