MAH (SiM) Comments

“Manga is a universe. There are as many galaxies as there are readers. This song is my attempt to express, through sound and words, the BLACK TORCH galaxy that expanded inside my own mind. Congratulations on the anime adaptation!”

About BLACK TORCH

Jiro Azuma is not your average high schooler. Hailing from a long line of ninja, Jiro has been brought up by his grandfather in the ancient warrior art of the shinobi. Jiro also happens to be a particularly skilled communicator able to converse with the animal world. But life takes an abrupt turn thanks to a mysterious encounter in the forest with an injured black cat named Rago.

Only, Rago’s feline appearance is deceiving... It turns out the “ordinary” cat is the stuff of mononoke legend–the Black Star of Doom!

Swarming in the shadows are more mononoke, eager to exploit Rago’s uniquely immense powers. To fight back against the tide of dark spirits, the undercover Bureau of Espionage is poised to seek and destroy.

Of course, everyone has their motives when it comes to Rago’s powers. But Jiro and Rago are ready.

A shinobi clash between boy and mononoke is about to ignite!

Scheduled for release on September 2, HOOMAN AFTER ALL marks SiM’s first full-length studio album in three years and includes the newly announced anime theme “FREEZE ME UP,” alongside recent singles “FiVE TiMES DEAD (by my wallet)” and “BLiNDEYES feat. Yukina from HANABIE”.
