Tokko

In a world where supernatural beings called "Others" exist and can possess humans, the "Special Public Security Section 4" (Tokko) is formed to combat them. The story follows Ran, a young man who lost his family to an "Other" and joins Tokko to seek revenge. He discovers that the fight against these entities is far more complex and dangerous than he imagined, involving corrupt officials and hidden agendas within the organization itself.
