User Reviews For: Yashagarasu

Great shonen/seinen - especially if you enjoy manga with a supernatural origin. Yes - the art style is not to everyone's taste and is reflective the time the story first debuted in the 1990s, but its a definite recommended read, and worth paying for. The premise for the story is the karasu - or avenging crow/crow tengu from Japanese folklore. The MC is the young priest charged with being the crow tengu (a bit like Batman who I suspect may have influenced the mangaka) who goes out and tracks down evil spirits to banish them from this world. The supporting characters include an old man (similar to Alfred) and a cast of young, buxom shrine maidens who are doing their apprenticeships at the main shrine. If any of that tickles your fancy - definitely buy this one. Can't wait to see if Renta put the other 8 books up for purchase :-PNow to check out the other titles from this seriously underrated mangaka.
