Inuyashiki
Inuyashiki (いぬやしき) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiroya Oku. It was serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Evening from January 2014 to July 2017, with its chapters collected in 10 tankōbon volumes. The story follows two people who, via a mysterious event, are endowed with superhuman abilities, but the way they choose to use these abilities is completely different.
An 11-episode anime television series adaptation produced by MAPPA aired on Fuji TV's late night programming block Noitamina from October to December 2017. A live-action film adaptation premiered in April 2018.
Inuyashiki Ichiro is an older, friendless man with an uncaring family. One fateful evening in a nearly empty public park, he is struck by an explosion of extraterrestrial origin, and his body is replaced by an incredibly powerful, but still outwardly human, mechanical body. He quickly realizes the extent of his body's powers, and after saving a homeless man being beaten by a pack of teenagers, he decides to dedicate himself to doing good, using his powers to heal those with incurable diseases and fight crime.
However, a teenager who was with him at the time of the explosion, Shishigami Hiro, had the same fate as Ichiro, but unlike Inuyashiki, Shishigami becomes a psychopath who goes about using his newfound abilities to murder various people, from classmates that annoy him to innocent families, including young children, just for amusement. His acts of merciless cruelty bring him the attention of the police, who can do nothing to stop him. Hiro becomes the most wanted criminal in the country. The series follows these two different people who once shared the same bizarre experience, as their paths are destined to clash.
During Hiroya Oku's work on Gantz for Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump, editor Shiota offered him a position at Kodansha's bimonthly magazine Evening. The publication's smaller scale and flexibility would allow Oku to develop his ideas with complete creative freedom. He accepted and began developing what would become Inuyashiki. Before completing Gantz, Oku drew inspiration from the film Astro Boy for the story of a deceased man revived as a super robot, which evolved into the narrative of Inuyashiki and Hiro—two characters seeking, in their own ways, to regain their humanity. The series proposal was approved, and Oku maintained near-total creative independence, with minimal editorial oversight from Shiota. For the title, Oku sought an ambiguous word that would intrigue readers. He selected "Inuyashiki" ('dog mansion'), a surname that does not exist in Japan, in contrast to the similar "Nekoyashiki" ('cat mansion'), which does appear in Japanese records.
Written and illustrated by Hiroya Oku, Inuyashiki was serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Evening, from January 28, 2014, to July 25, 2017. Kodansha collected its 85 chapters in ten tankōbon volumes, released from May 23, 2014, to September 22, 2017.
Kodansha USA licensed the manga for English release in North America in 2014. The ten volumes were released from August 25, 2015, to December 19, 2017. Crunchyroll started publishing the manga in a digital format in 2015; the service is set to end in December 2023.
An anime television series adaptation by MAPPA began airing on October 12, 2017, and a live-action film adaptation has been announced for 2018. The anime series' opening theme is "My Hero", performed by Japanese rock band Man with a Mission. The ending theme "Ai o Oshietekureta Kimi e" (愛を教えてくれた君へ; lit. "To You Who Taught Me Love") is performed by the band Qaijff. Amazon had licensed the series and streamed it online on Amazon Prime Video in Japan and overseas. It was streamed on Anime Strike in the United States. Amazon discontinued Anime Strike on January 5, 2018, which in turn made their titles, including Inuyashiki, free to stream for Prime members. The anime series became available on Crunchyroll on April 26, 2023.
