About the Witching Hour Manga Volume 1

What happens when romance is literally dead?

Housewife Megumi is devoted to her husband, Yuji, but longs for something more… When Yuji literally isn’t up to the task, a supernatural lover materializes in their bedroom. Will this spirit move her?

Megumi’s love life is lackluster. Sex with her husband, Yuji, has become just a means to conceive a child. But then a ghost enters the picture—and their bedroom. The spirit caters to Megumi’s deepest desires, satisfying her to the point where Yuji grows suspicious. Unfortunately, the private investigator he hires has a dark side. And then Megumi’s incorporeal paramour finds a new way to possess her more fully… Paru Itagaki began her professional career as a manga author in 2016 with the first volume of the short story collection Beast Complex, which became the precursor to BEASTARS, her first serialization. BEASTARS has won multiple awards in Japan, including the prestigious 2018 Manga Taisho Award. Itagaki continues to explore the anthropomorphic world of BEASTARS in the ongoing short story anthology series Beast Complex. In her series Taika’s Reason, she delves further into the animalistic nature of people and the humanist nature of animals. Her ouevre also includes the psychological horror manga Drip Drip.
