Cat Eyed Boy is a half-human, half-monster child whose mostly human appearance bans him from the demon world. He lives hidden in the shadows of the human world, hated by humans and demons alike. Wherever he goes, awful events occur as the humans and demons interact.

Cat Eyed Boy was created by Kazuo Umezu, the undisputed master of Japanese horror manga and creator of the critically acclaimed Drifting Classroom. The series was released as two double-sized deluxe editions, each featuring several stories of revenge and the evil in the hearts of men (and women).
