Takaki (Heart Gear) started the manga in December 2016 in Shueisha’s Jump Square magazine and Shueisha published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in April 2017 and the fifth and final volume in August 2018.
Viz Media released the manga in English and it describes the manga below:
Although he may appear rough-and-tumble, Jiro Azuma’s compassionate side emerges when it comes to the furry critters he can communicate with. But Jiro’s soft spot for animals gets him in major trouble when a suspicious stray cat fuses with him, granting him exceptional power but also dragging him into humanity’s hidden battle against powerful Japanese spirits, mononoke.
