It is very hard to be human, little fox. Even the humans themselves don’t do a great job of it. The mortal world is full of hatred, betrayal, sadness and death. Most yokai and kami alike find that it is too much for them. Everything the humans think they value—love, honor, empathy, compassion—we yokai need nothing of those, especially when they so often lead to suffering and despair.

Symptoms of kitsune-tsuki varied. There are descriptions of “afflicted persons who ate gravel, ashes, hair, or combs, wandered the mountains and fields making piles of stones, jumped into rivers or ran into the mountains, etc.”29 In 1894, Lafcadio Hearn wrote, “Strange is the madness of those into whom demon foxes enter. Sometimes they run naked shouting through the streets. Sometimes they lie down and froth at the mouth, and yelp as a fox yelps.”30 Kitsune-tsuki (and other forms of possession) persisted throughout Hearn’s time, and similar phenomena are still occasionally identified today. But during the Meiji period, modern Western medicine was called on to redefine fox possession as a form of mental illness treatable by psychiatrists.

These were the worst moments for Guang, watching his friend fight yokai and knowing he was useless to help. He knew Haruto wouldn't die, knew that he couldn't. Guang had seen proof of it many times, but he also knew every wound hurt. And there was always the chance, no matter how slim, that Haruto's immortality could fail him.

Guang always said that immortality was a generous reward for merely hunting yokai, but he had it backwards. Immortality wasn't the reward. It was the price Haruto had to pay.

guarded villages from nighttime oni and yokai that tried to cause harm. Goro's stern face transformed into a frown. He turned to the pillager next to him, Sota, silently seeking the defender's opinion. The pillager had been the one to defend the village while the ancestral spirit was missing. Sota returned the look, eyes flickering back and forth between Goro and Kitsune. The judgment they exchanged felt like an invisible tug of war. Refusing to be intimidated, Kitsune stood her ground, meeting their gazes unflinchingly. Even if she did feel twitchy. At least a little. Goro gave a dismissive shrug, eyeing the girl carefully, like she might spontaneously combust. “Are you a ninja? Like that

Angels and demons weren’t the only beings wandering the world. Vampires, werewolves, fairies, yokai, and more were to be found all over the world. You could even find them in the city! New York was a melting pot for supernaturals as much as it was for humans from around the world.

Saygıdeğer Efendim, işlediğim suçu isteyerek yapmadım. Tek kabahatim, inanılmaz derecede aptal oluşumdur. Aptal doğmuşum ben. Karmam böyle! Durmadan yanlış yapıyorum, elimde değil. Yine de aptallık yüzünden adam öldürmek çok kötü. Bunun cezasını çekmeliyim. Öte yandan, siz beni öldürdüğünüzde intikam alınmış olacaksa da, öldürülmek yüzünden ortaya çıkan öfke yeni bir intikam nedeni doğuracaktır. Kötülük kötülükle cezalandırılıyorsa, bu böyledir...

Master sailor Tokuzō has set sail on New Year's Eve even though it is forbidden to do so, whereupon a violent storm breaks out, and the close-cropped head of a massive monster rises out of the waves like a mountain. Unafraid, Tokuzō calls out "Nothing is as scary as making one's living!" and the monster vanishes away.

Is that so?” Kevin rolled onto his back and stared up at the tree ceiling, counting the rings in the wood. Pondering her words, he eventually gave a chuckle. “Maybe I’m a half-yokai.” “Please don’t joke like that, Beloved,” Lilian stated flatly. “That would be a terrible plot device.” “You think so?” “I know so.
