Jin

Jin is a spider-demon who tagged along with the monk Sougen after being rejected from his pack. He is deeply in love with Sougen and introduces himself as his husband, to Sougen's annoyance. At first Jin is terrified of females (having heard that female spiders eat the males after mating), but that starts to subside after meeting Nabeshima the nekomata and becoming her friend. Jin occasionally goes through shedding, after which he grows physically as well.
