A fantasy/mystery series with a unique Japanese flavor perfect for fans of Noragami: Stray God and Tokyo Ghoul.
Ages 13+ Kotoko delves into a historic Edo era mystery when a high school friend consults her about his family’s possible connection to yôkai. According to legend, a samurai named Shirokura Hanbei battles and slays a yuki-onna in the mountains. Hanbei is later suddenly killed under eerie circumstances, and there are two suspects: himself, or the yuki-onna. Confronted between the choice to tell the truth or to lie, how will Kotoko present the evidence? The spine-chilling “To Slay a Snow Woman” mystery continues… Series Overview: When she was still just a girl, Kotoko was kidnapped by yokai (spirits). They made her into a powerful intermediary between spirits and humans, but this power came with a price: one eye, and one leg. Now she’s falling in love with a young man named Kuro, who is also special: an incident with a yokai has given him healing powers. He’s surprised when Kotoko asks him to team up to handle renegade yokai, preserving the thin line between the human world and the spirit world.
