The BEM anime is the latest in a franchise that began with Yōkai Ningen Bem (Humanoid Monster Bem), a classic supernatural adventure anime that aired from 1968 to 1969.
Hakusensha’s Manga Park website and app will publish the first part of the final chapter of Mosae Nohara’s manga adaptation of the new BEM anime on January 29.
In the original 26-episode anime, Bem, Bela, and Belo are ugly humanoid monsters (yōkai) who fight for justice.
The monsters live among humans and protect them from evil yōkai.
