BLACK TORCH

Nirou, a high school student with the unusual ability to talk to animals, stumbles upon an injured black cat; he rescues it, not knowing that the cat is actually a spirit that has awakened from a long slumber.

Jiro awakens in hospital only to learn he is now under the surveillance of the Bureau of Espionage.

Jiro Azuma is no average high schooler; a descendant of ninjas and trained in the ancient warrior art of the shinobi, Jiro is also able to talk with animals.
