Mononoke: Faceless Monster Case
Case overview
Ochou’s story makes identity the horror. Masks, marriage pressure, and the fear of living as someone else create one of the series’ most intimate mononoke cases.
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.
