Mononoke: Nue Case
Case overview
The incense-game arc wraps violence in elegance. Status performance, ritual knowledge, and connoisseurship become clues in a case where refinement hides predation.
Why this arc matters
- It gives the Medicine Seller a different social world to investigate.
- The mononoke is tied to a specific injustice rather than random evil.
- The case structure makes the anthology easy to browse without flattening every episode into the same template.
