Pet Shop of Horrors
Pet Shop of Horrors © Madhouse Productions

In the heart of Chinatown there is a mysterious pet shop where Count D will sell you your heart's desire. Woe to those who break the conditions of the contract, though: the pet shop takes no responsibility for the damages wrought by improperly cared-for critters.

Rookie detective Leon Orcott has set his sights on bringing the pet shop and its owner under criminal investigation, but what he finds there is far beyond anything he could have imagined.

Of Interest:

Pet Shop of Horrors originally appeared on Japanese television in tiny, 2 1/2 minute increments between other programs.

There are only four half-hour episodes in the animé, but the manga series consists of ten books. There are many more manga adventures, and more information on Leon and the mysterious Count D. The manga is often lighter and has a more humorous style than the animé.
