AFTERMATH
 
With Inuyashiki emerging victorious from the brutal fight with Shishigami, a peaceful Japan—and normal life for his family—appear to be attainable at last. Inuyashiki devotes himself to repairing his fractured relationships, including telling the truth about what he really is. But the newfound calm is tenuous. Is Shishigami really gone? Before his fate is discovered, Inuyashiki and everything he holds dear may be under an even more catastrophic threat.

CLASH OF TITANS

Inuyashiki finally meets Shishigami! But with the life of his daughter, Mari, hanging by a thread, there’s no time for him to engage his android counterpart. Inuyashiki must put a stop to Shishigami’s evil deeds once and for all, but will his heroic battle come at the cost of his daughter’s life?

Desperate Times

Until now, Inuyashiki and Shishigami have walked separate paths with their superhuman abilities. But unhinged, isolated, and seemingly with nothing more to lose, Shishigami has turned his deadly powers on the entirety of Japan. As more and more innocent lives are threatened, Inuyashiki realizes that he may have to take a larger role as the hero people are calling for. The moment has finally come for him to confront Shishigami, but how will this spotlight change the delicate balance of his own family—and can Shishigami’s terrifying spree even be stopped?

SHISHIGAMI VS. JAPAN
 
When a special person in Hiro Shishigami’s life causes him to turn over a new leaf, he decides to use his powers for good. But before long, Hiro’s sins catch up with him and he finally loses the last shred of hope for his humanity. Now Hiro will fight all who oppose him, and this time, it’s war.

SINNER TO SAVIOR

Shishigami’s identity as a vicious murderer is known to the nation, prompting him to take refuge. As public outcry calls for him to be brought to justice, a tragic event pushes Shishigami over the edge, and his once violent pastime turns into a mission of revenge. With vengeance on his mind, Shishigami strays further from his humanity into a killing machine, but the affection of a new friend may cause him to have a change of heart.

“Take Gantz, add the premise of Breaking Bad, and you’ve got Inuyashiki.” -Kotaku

“Yes, Inuyashiki is the story of an old man who turns into a military-grade super-robot… Hiroya Oku slathers the pages in gore, but like in Gantz, it’s never just about the gore.” -Anime News Network

FRIEND OF AN ENEMY
Inuyashiki has put a stop to Samejima and his gang, but there are worse evils that he must face. Tokyo is still plagued by a string of cold-blooded murders that are being committed by Inuyashiki’s cyborg counterpart, Shishigami, and Inuyashiki is the only one who can stop him. To prevent more senseless killings, Inuyashiki must learn how to master his newfound abilities, but he can’t do it alone. Fortuantely, there’s someone close to Shishigami who wants to stop his rampage just as badly, and his knowlege may be just what Inuyashiki needs to take down Shishigami.

A LIGHT IN THE DARK

With his newfound powers, Inuyashiki has taken a new lease on life and has decided to help as many people as he can. But as day turns to night, the seedy underbelly of society comes out, and a depraved Yakuza member by the name of Samejima preys on an innocent woman. Inuyashiki must save this woman from a grim fate, but will he be able to take on a small army of gang members and rid the streets of Samejima’s darkness?

Cruel Youth

Hiro Shishigami’s surprising reveal to his best friend, Ando, has made it clear that Inuyashiki was not the only person out in the park on that fateful night. Though it seems that Shishigami’s abilities will make life easier for his formerly bullied friend, his new abilities have also pushed him in a grim direction and he has now picked up a strange and deadly hobby. Inuyashiki may be the only person who can do something, but even with his new body, he’s still no spring chicken. Does Inuyashiki have what it takes to prevent Shishigami from continuing his violent pastime?

BEYOND PRIME

Ichiro Inuyashiki is down on his luck. While only 58 years old, his geriatric looks often have him written off as a pathetic old man by the world around him and he’s constantly ignored and disrespected by his family despite all that he’s done to support them. On top of everything else, his doctor has revealed that he has cancer and it appears that he has little time left in this world.

Just when it seems things couldn’t get any worse, a blinding light in the night sky strikes the earth where Ichiro stands. He later wakes up to find himself unscathed, but he soon starts to notice that there’s something…different about himself. However, it turns out that these strange, new changes are just what Ichiro needs to take a new lease on life and now it seems like there’s nothing to stop him from being a hero worthy of the respect that he never had before…unless, that is, there was someone else out there with these same “changes”…
