Where it came from
Inugami was created by mangaka Masaya Hokazono and serialized in the late 1990s. The series emerged during a period of rising popularity for psychological horror in Japanese manga, distinguishing itself through its dark, supernatural narrative revolving around the mythological concept of the inugami—a dog spirit often associated with black magic and possession. Hokazono crafted the story to lean heavily into disturbing imagery and unsettling thematic explorations of inherited trauma and madness.
The design of the series reflects Hokazono's signature style, characterized by visceral paneling and a gritty aesthetic that emphasizes the tension between the mundane and the occult. Upon its release, the work was noted for its uncompromising tone and its willingness to delve into bleak, nihilistic territory. It remains a cult classic among enthusiasts of horror manga for its intense atmosphere and the author's ability to maintain a sense of dread throughout the volumes.
