Ayakashi Triangle by Kentaro Yabuki
Teenager Kazamaki Matsuri has long been part of an elite force of ninja exorcists, tasked with fighting malicious ayakashi spirits who threaten Japan–especially those after his childhood friend, the spirit medium Kanade Suzu. As he fiercely protects her, and his relationship with her blooms from friendship into something more, a powerful cat ayakashi vows to get between the lovebirds: by casting a forbidden spell that turns Matsuri into a woman! With no apparent way to undo the spell, Matsuri must continue battling ayakashi–and go back to school–in this new feminine body until he can find a way to turn back.
Ayakashi Triangle is a currently serialised series in the hugely popular Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and has been published in English digitally via Viz’s Shonen Jump program and Shueisha’s Manga Plus service. The series recently garnered some controversy when both Viz Media and Shueisha refused to publish chapters 74 and 75 outside of Japan.
Seven Seas will release single uncut volumes both physically and digitally from November 2022.
