Hyakki Yakō Shō by Ichiko Ima is doubtlessly one of my favorite manga series ever. A pity that there's no English translation for this highly imaginative, well researched, finely plotted tales about demons, ghosts and psychics.

Plus the characters- a highschool boy who's a psychic and his family, including a late grandfather who was a powerful psychic (whose ghost we will get to see now and then in the series) and the boy's father---who in fact is a demon wearing his late father's skin; are super endearing as well.

Ao Arashi đáng yêu quá đi mất ;_;

What can I say? This manga is both gorgeous and depressing at the same time. Gorgeous because it shows the supernatural world from day-to-day point of view, about how Ritsu deals with his ability while balancing his normal life. Depressing because some of the stories are just that. It's a very worthy read!

I don't even want to think that Natsume Yujincho is a 'rip-off' of this one excellent title, but can't help to see some similarities which are in the main concepts of the story. Regardless, both series have each its own charms and beauties which are distinctive to each other.

4/5

There’s definitely not enough talk about this series right here.
First of all it has an amazing view of all the supernatural world and second of all every chapter has a different story and situation so it’s unique.
Definitely a different read from the classic manga style series!

The Vietnamese translation is quite dry, exhausting to follow the plot. What a pity.

Bagus tapi menakutkan.
Natsume yuujinchou itu ceritanya lembut dan happy.
Hyakki Yakoushou/Beyond Twiligth itu creepy banget.

I daresay that - to my knowledge - this gem of a series is, alongside Mushishi and Natsume Yuujinchou, one of the very best supernatural manga in existence. It leans more towards the horror aspect of the Japanese folklore, and at times is a bit gruesome, with all the deaths that tend to happen per volume. It's also beautifully drawn, maintaining the quality throughout its run (as far as I'm aware - which is 20ish volumes). The only slight problem is that the story is rather episodic, as I don't remember any overarching story arc. On the other hand, the characters, both main and reccuring, are believable and enormous joy to spend time with.

I love this story so much that I'm muddling my way through the original Japanese version. That way of reading is quite time-consuming, but so much worth it. (Even though I fully admit to cheating, as the unofficial English translation exists halfway to the 10th volume, and I'm consulting it more than I'd like...)

Plongé dans le folklore japonais au rythme des aventures de Ritsu.
"Un dessin au trait élégant et aérien confère une atmosphère poétique à ces histoires d'une grande richesse culturelle dépeignant le quotidien d'une famille japonais" - Amazon.

If you liked Natsume Yuujinchou/Natsumes book of friends...but this is creepier
