Earlier in April 2026, we got to talk about the first volume of Ayagari no Kanoka, which dropped on April 6th, 2026. Known originally as 妖狩のカノカ, it began in January 2026 from creator Hatsu Minato in Weekly Young Magazine. Check out the cover below. You can find the series page here.
Now, things have updated where the series is going to end in seven more chapters, and in three chapters its going to move from the magazine proper to just the Young Magazine website to finish out.
This is the debut work of the creator.
Weekly Young Magazine is a Japanese weekly anthology magazine published in Tokyo each Monday by Kodansha. The magazine started on June 16, 1980, and is targeted at the adult male demographic. It was published bimonthly, on the second and fourth Mondays of every month, until switching to a weekly publication in 1989.
Plot Concept: Monsters—grotesque creatures once known as yokai. Mikurube Meguri, a member of the Monster Countermeasures Bureau, encounters a young matagi hunter named Oikiri Kanoka. This matagi, left behind in modern times, turns his blade against national-scale supernatural disasters as a “monster hunter” for the Monster Countermeasures Bureau. The tale of monster hunting in modern Japan begins.
