From publisher blurb: Kemonomimi are humanoid characters that were born from the influence of animal yokai spirits mingling with generations of bloodlines of the families they watched over. After a few centuries these families no longer exhibited their original nature, creating new subspecies of humanoids, known as the Kemonomimi. There are 7 species that are known to exist: red panda, raccoon, dog, cat, fox, hare, and the tanuki.
