Provenance

Where it came from

Witching Hour Zoo, known in Japan as Omagadoki Dōbutsuen, was the debut serialized manga series by Kohei Horikoshi, published in Weekly Shonen Jump starting in 2010. Created during a period when Horikoshi was establishing his signature style, the series follows Hana Aoi, a girl who begins working at a mysterious, supernatural zoo managed by a rabbit-headed director. The narrative focuses on the chaotic and imaginative interactions between humans and magically transformed animals.

The character designs reflect Horikoshi's early interest in bold, exaggerated forms and expressive anatomy, elements that would later become staples in his global hit, My Hero Academia. While the series was a modest success during its initial run, it is frequently studied by fans for its thematic roots in animal welfare and the exploration of empathy, serving as a foundational project for the author's development as both a writer and illustrator.
