Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, Volume 18 — Hiroshi Shiibashi

A supernatural saga of a 13-year-old by day, and a leader of a demon clan by night -- straight from the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump!

While the day belongs to humans, the night belongs to yokai, supernatural creatures that thrive on human fear. Caught between these worlds is Rikuo Nura. He's three-quarters human, but his grandfather is none other than Nurarihyon, the supreme commander of the Nura clan, a powerful yokai consortium. So, Rikuo is an ordinary teenager three quarters of the time, until his yokai blood awakens. Then Rikuo transforms into the future leader of the Nura clan, leading a hundred demons.

Harken back with us to the Golden Age of Edo, when Rikuo´s father Rihan first takes control of the Nura clan. Gain new perspectives on Rikuo´s family history, as well as the backstory on some of your favorite devilish yokai (including that pesky Demon Lord Gorozaemon Sanmoto). Follow Rihan´s second heir adventures as he learns the hard way that controlling, commanding and battling yokai is not to be taken lightly, lest you be the one who's taken.

Reads R to L (Japanese Style) for teen audiences.
