Provenance

Where it came from

Hyde & Closer is a supernatural shonen manga series written and illustrated by Haro Asou, originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday between 2008 and 2009. The narrative follows Shunpei Closer, a timid middle-school student who inherits a cursed teddy bear named Hyde from his mysterious grandfather. As the story unfolds, the bear begins to manipulate the boy's life, forcing him into dangerous encounters with supernatural entities.

Asou Haro brought a distinct blend of dark humor and suspense to the series, focusing on the character growth of a reluctant protagonist thrust into conflict. The art style emphasizes the contrast between the seemingly benign toy and the grotesque supernatural threats Shunpei faces. While the series had a relatively short run, it is recognized for its imaginative creature designs and the unique dynamic between the protagonist and his sentient, malevolent companion.
