The premise is precise and deadpan: if yōkai are real, they require internal organs adapted to their particular capacities. Each drawing renders those organs with the same draftsmanly attention Mizuki brought to his manga backgrounds — detailed, systematic, and entirely straight-faced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subjects range across Japanese folklore. Fukurosagé, a tanuki from Nagano Prefecture, is shown to possess a stomach capable of converting food directly into sake. Mannendaké — a bamboo said to be ten thousand years old — uses finger-like appendages resembling syringes to extract the souls of travelers who stray too close. The accompanying texts, written by Mizuki and adapted into French by Jean-Louis Capron for this edition, maintain the same tone as the drawings: matter-of-fact, quasi-scientific, and quietly absurd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book belongs to the Collection Solange series and is printed in black and Pantone orange — a restrained palette that suits both the folkloric subject matter and the clinical register of the anatomical format. The binding is hardcover with a cloth spine (\u003cem\u003ecouverture cartonnée avec dos toilé\u003c\/em\u003e), giving the volume a physical weight appropriate to its reference-book posture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor buyers already familiar with Mizuki's yōkai universe, the related title \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mononoke-shigeru-mizuki\"\u003eMononoke\u003c\/a\u003e is also available.
