Synopsis:
Nura Rikuo wants to be as human as possible, despite the fact that he is the grandson of Nurarihyon, the leader of all Kanto youkai**! Even with his 1/4 youkai blood, he does his best to live as a human, until a certain turn of events leads him to accepting his position as the third heir of his grandfather's clan, the Nura Clan. As Rikuo trains to become a better youkai, he discovers more about himself, his past, and the dark side of his clan's past--and tries to settle them.
My Review:
Honestly, this wasn't all boom or anything, but it was interesting. Interesting enough for me to recommend it, at least. It had an interesting story, creepy characters, development in strength, and some pretty good comedy. (If I remember correctly.)
Well, I have nothing super good to say about it unlike some of my other posts, but it'd be a nice anime/manga to try out sometime.
Other Information:
The anime doesn't seem like it's gonna continue. Well, it at least made it until a second season. I do hope it continues, at least. If school doesn't decide to butt into my life even more than it needs to, I might consider continuing watching it, even though I last watched/read it in, like... I'm bad at remembering those stuff, but anyways, it was long ago.
Also, this anime seems to have two titles. "Nurarihyon no Mago", and "Nura: Rise of the Youkai Clan". I like to use the former better, not only because it's less of a pain to say, but also because it's more original. After all, the manga was named that. I thing the latter was just an English version they used on Animax, or something.
* just a little
** Youkai are Japanese monsters or demons. They mostly come from Japanese folktales, like Hanako-chan or Teketeke or Kuchisake-onna, I think. (Trust me, if you don't know any of those I just mentioned, do not try researching about them. At least not pictures. And not at night. Just don't.)
