Kaedegami (Japanese: カエデガミ, Hepburn: Kaedegami) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Jun Harukawa, set in a Chinese fantasy gods and demons fictional world. It is serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine, starting in June 2025.

Plot

Kou is a young man who apparently lives alone after he was abandoned as a child by his father in the woods outside Shuraku Village, on the Eastern Frontier. His solitude serves as a cover for his companion: Chiyou, a female shenguai (しんかい, shenkai),[lower-alpha 1] who taught him how to survive as a distraction from her loneliness. The shenguai are feared as monsters who abduct and eat humans, so when another one comes seeking food, Kou learns of her true identity as the fallen God of War and together they embark on a quest to restore her body, starting with a face they recovered from the malevolent newcomer.

Characters

Friendly shenguai and affiliates

Kou
A young man, abandoned at an early age by his father and raised by Chiyou to be her mortal vessel, but eventually she grew too fond of him to use him that way. However, he later willingly submits to Chiyou in order to see her restoration through.
Chiyou
The ancient God of War who was defeated 5,000 years ago; her body parts were scattered to prevent her from re-forming.
Bai Ze
A scholarly shenguai who guides Kou and Chiyou to recover her body parts. He was a victim of Banqiao.
Nyue
Bai Ze's small, greedy assistant; they forced Bai Ze to eat the cursed shaobing.

Antagonistic shenguai

Banqiao San Niangzi
The Third Lady of the Plank Bridge, who has the power to turn humans into donkeys when they eat her delicious meat-filled shaobing.
Bing
A tiger-like shenguai who possesses Chiyou's hand, which he uses to imbue severed heads with hellfire flames. He also is able to reanimate the corpses of his victims to serve him.
Nüba
The Goddess of Drought, she ultimately was responsible for Chiyou's defeat and dismemberment 5,000 years ago, but also blames Chiyou for being unable to return to heaven, as she was forced to use too much of her power. She is trying to gather Chiyou's body parts to gain power and cause death and chaos.
Taotie
A fan of beautiful theatrical performances; she befriended Huazi when the latter was a child, eventually convincing her to lift the seal on Taotie's power. Once lifted, Taotie killed Huazi's family. Since then, Taotie has gained leadership over the Shuei Performing Arts troupe, where talented children are recognized and, upon meeting Taotie, never seen again.

Shenguai hunters

Zixu
A mercenary who is hired by Bai Ze.
Huazi
Zixu's apprentice, who is detailed to accompany Kou and Chiyou on their mission to the Shuei Troupe. Although Chiyou is initially jealous of the human, fearing Kou could come to love her, Huazi is dedicated to shenguai hunting and is disgusted because Kou willingly partnered with one, paradoxically raising Chiyou's opinion of her.

Lonely Kou has been raised since he was young by the shenguai Chiyou; they are confronted by a hostile shenguai who taunts Chiyou, the fallen God of War, who confesses she had intended to possess him as her mortal vessel. Kou willingly volunteers his body to defeat the antagonistic shenguai, recovering her face, which he has grown curious to see; this also unlocks a spell for Chiyou which transforms her into an owl. On a scenic river journey, they encounter and behead a giant snake shenguai, dispelling a magical fog. Chiyou expected to find an acquaintance in Tian Rui, but they discover the town is overrun with wild donkeys. A traveling vendor offers delicious donkey meat shaobing, but the vendor's assistant clumsily but deliberately knocks it away before Kou can eat; Chiyou realizes the vendor is Banqiao San Niangzi, a shenguai who enslaved the village by feeding them food which transforms the eater into a donkey. Kou makes her eat the cursed shaobing, forcing her to reverse the spell. Chiyou's restored acquaintance introduces himself as Bai Ze, a specialized type of shenguai, and promises to guide them to the rest of her body. Bai Ze realizes that by granting him access to her power, Chiyou has entrusted her life to Kou, and explains the burden she has placed on him; Kou is unfazed and replies that his greatest fear is disappointing her, vowing to repay her for keeping him alive. Bai Ze directs them to the first part-keeper, Bing, a giant tiger shenguai that lives in a temple. Enroute, they encounter the tiger's victims, a trail of mangled corpses. Bound to his soul, they reanimate as chang gui and Bing attacks Kou. Using the power derived from Chiyou's hand, Bing flings flaming heads at Kou and knocks the human unconscious.
