| Nurarihyon no Mago (ぬらりひょんの孫; Viz "Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan"; Literally meaning "Nurarihyon's Grandchild"), commonly abbreviated to Nuramago (ぬら孫, Nuramago), is a manga series written and illustrated by Hiroshi Shiibashi with an anime TV series adaptation. The main character, Rikuo Nura, is a boy who is part human and a quarter yōkai. He lives in a house full of spirits along with his yōkai grandfather. Despite his grandfather's wish to succeed him as master of a yōkai yakuza clan, he tries to escape his fate of acting like a yōkai by doing good deeds. He eventually comes to terms with his yōkai blood and decides to take up the position of Young head of the Nura House. Multiple factions aim to stop him or overtake his position, and he must gather friends and allies, a new Hyakki Yakō under his banner of "Fear". Nurarihyon no Mago has been continuously serialized in the Japanese manga anthology Weekly Shōnen Jump since March 2008 and has been collected in 12 tankōbon volumes as of September 2010. The manga has been licensed by Viz Media to be released in the United States, with the first volume to be released early 2011. | |
