Synopsis

Murakumo Inn is different from other hotels—its location is unknown, and it accepts both human and non-human patrons. The owner, no less mysterious, does not ask his guests to pay money for their stay; instead, they must tell him one of their most hideous secrets. Otherwise, he shall intervene and create a secret for them to hide.

Tokihito Sasaki considered himself an ordinary high school student until he met the owner and discovered he had long been dead. Yet, with the help of the innkeeper, he can now live among humans at the cost of being a living corpse. Despite being given a second chance, Sasaki resents the owner for turning him into a monster. In hopes of exacting revenge, he teams up with a sorcerer whose family has spent centuries trying to banish the inn's proprietor.

However, the inn is guarded by its employees, and the owner himself is not a helpless spirit. Only those who find his secret can take him out—if they survive to do so.

A Preliminary review for the first volume, as it's only just been translated into English, and seemingly no one knows about this manga despite the tremendous promise it has so far.

So far, Bakemono Yawa-zukushi, or as it is being published in English, Phantom Tales of the Night, is a manga about a mysterious place called Thundercloud Inn which takes in the unfortunate at the price of you biggest secret! It's possible a grand plot will be revealed, however the manga has been mostly episodic for now, showing semi-unrelated stories of people and spirits meeting the Inns strange and beautiful owner and his two servants Spider ...

This series.. it’s got a lot goin’ on. IN A GOOD WAY! Overall I would highly recommend this series.

[A note: I will be using he/him to refer to Owner, because that’s what’s used in the eng. publications, no matter the form he’s taking]

General Stuff;
This series contains some body-horror elements, sometimes shown and sometimes just alluded to. For example, there’s a decent amount of cannibalism, as well as some snake-puking and the like. It’s also worth noting that there’s some sexual undertones throughout the series, with a lot of ‘it-was-not-necessary-for-y’all-to-be-that-close-for-that-scene-but-good-for-you-i-guess’ type situations.

ART:
Beautiful. There are many complex backgrounds, patterns, and full page spreads of dramatic/impactful scenes. ...

Preliminary (34/59 eps)
A truly unique horror/supernatural manga with fascinating and mysterious characters. This was a lucky find find for me, and a great read! It's one of my favorite mangas I've read so far.

Story:
In the beginning it's fairly episodic, but as the manga progresses the characters and plotlines introduced in the beginning are woven together to create longer arcs. The general storyline is that Owner runs an inn to lure in humans (and other beings) to steal their secrets. However, I'm not sure of Owner's motive yet, but I love the mystery. The manga legitimately gives me the spooks sometimes. It's ...
