Ayashimon #1

This first volume of Yuji Kaku's supernatural action series introduces Urara, a young woman with a mysterious past and a desire to break free from the oppressive yakuza-like underworld of ayashimon—supernatural beings who rule modern Tokyo. After a chance encounter with the naive but incredibly strong Maruo, who dreams of becoming a manga hero, the two form an unlikely partnership to challenge the ayashimon hierarchy. Collecting the opening chapters of the series, this volume sets the stage for a violent, stylish battle against the criminal underworld of Japanese folklore-inspired monsters.
