Original Reading Summary
Black Torch opens with Jirou Azuma, a teenager from a shinobi line who can talk to animals, rescuing the black-cat mononoke Rago. That act ties Jirou to a supernatural conflict involving mononoke, covert Bureau agents, and enemies who want Rago’s power. The story is compact, so reading in publication order is the best path.
What Happens Across the Manga?
The manga moves from Jirou and Rago’s first bond into Bureau recruitment, team missions, mononoke politics, Kirihara family trauma, and the Amagi-centered escalation. PopRot’s coverage treats the “episodes” shelf as a chapter guide until a real anime adaptation/episode list can be verified.
