Read Manga Mizunoke: A Modern Tale of Mysterious Water Dwellers online in English. Also known as Mizunoke, 水ノ怪-水域怪異奇譚今様-, and Mizu no Kai - Suiiki Kaii Kitan Imayō -.

In Uroko Town, strange beings tied to rivers, lakes, and shorelines have not vanished with modern life. They still linger in the water, feared enough that a Mizunoke Extermination Center exists to deal with them. Sayo, one of its employees, keeps her distance from others while carrying a painful past that never fully lets her rest.

Her quiet routine changes when Kichi, a sharp-tongued girl from Osaka, arrives in town searching for her missing brother. What begins as a request for help soon sinks into something stranger, where local legends, water-dwelling spirits, and buried grief all seem connected. The mystery carries a cold, eerie atmosphere, but its heart lies in two wounded people being pulled toward answers they may not be ready to face.

This series may appeal to readers who enjoy modern dark fantasy, Japanese folklore, and supernatural mystery stories.
