Monstrous Me (2020)

Other name: 妖怪人間, Monster World

Description:

In "Monstrous Me," a world where monsters and humans have always coexisted faces a growing rift. The Bureau of Special Resident Affairs, once a bridge between species, now enforces stringent policies, keeping monsters under surveillance and limiting their interactions with humans, largely to humanity's benefit. New recruit Lu Ji, a facilitator by trade, quickly finds his loyalties tested. He empathizes deeply with the monsters, witnessing their struggles and the ongoing loss of their ancestral habitats to human expansion. His internal conflict over the agency's biased mission intensifies when he uncovers a shocking personal truth: he may be part monster himself.

This revelation throws Lu Ji into an existential crisis. He must choose his path: will he embrace his monstrous heritage and fight alongside the oppressed, challenging the humans' overbearing policies? Or will he align with humanity, upholding the Bureau's mandate to eliminate anything that threatens human safety, potentially betraying his newfound identity? His journey is a profound exploration of identity, belonging, and the difficult choices faced when one foot stands in each world.
