A Taiwanese ink-washed manga based on The Classic of Mountains and Seas. Demons are abroad in search of a legendary treasure – and so the strongest of the demon-slaying gods returns in feline form to defeat the demons and protect the prize.
High school student Yu-Hsuan is snatched from the street by hideous demons – and as all seems lost, a cat in swordsman’s gear rescues her.
She learns the demons are in search of an ancient treasure and are gathering on a small island protected by the spirits of nature – Taiwan. Her feline savior is the most powerful of the ancient demon-slaying gods, coming to protect the treasure and Yu-Hsuan, who has an unexpected connection to it.
Meanwhile, the unbelieving loser son of a magical family becomes tangled in Yu-Hsuan and the cat’s battles, stumbling into great peril when he finds himself surrounded by demons. Can he escape with his life? And what millennia-old business remains to be settled between humanity and the spirits?
The menagerie of demons, drawn from The Classic of Mountains and Seas, reflect the oddities of modern society in this fantastical but warm-hearted tale.
