Description
From Viz:
Rikuo grew up in a house full of yokai, so he always thought they were cool. But the kids in his class talk about yokai like they're bad! When his grandfather announces Rikuo as his chosen heir to run the Nura clan, Rikuo is torn between his human nature and his duties as a yokai. The rest of the clan's not so crazy about a wimpy part-human as their ruler, particularly Gagoze, a high-ranking yokai who would rather eat a human than be ruled by one.

I have to admit that at frst glance and after reading the first couple of chapters I was thinking: "Oh great here is another shonen manga that probably gonna go over 250+ chapters with fighs spanning 10-5 chapters per fight" boy was I wrong. The first couple of chapters start out slow, and for a moment there because of the way the lead character was acting I thought this story was gonna go in a completely different direction and I'm glad it didn't. It's like the mangaka suddenly woke up and decided to get this show on the road. Suddenly *BAM* after the first 10 or so chapters, every new chapter has got plot development, character development or even character backgrounds and backstories. No filler chapters here ladies and gentlemen not one single chapter is wasted and thank goodness the other actually avoided what I consider the shonen manga's biggest cliche: "long ass battles. The battles here don't last long and the mangaka chooses to favor plot over mindless bloodshed and massacre (not that those aren't present in the story, don't get me wrong). I totally recommend this to anybody who enjoy's plot development and a really well thought out story + character development.
Its good pretty good!

The story is great and the art is awesome but something is lacking. Maybe because his still a boy and doesn't think like that yet. But his grandfather is awesome that's all their is to it!

This manga combines two favorite things for me: yakuza and demon spirits! How awesome is that? A+++++
I love the interaction of Rikuo and his youkai underlings as the master (in training) of basically a biker gang. I also love the basic ghost stories and interaction with the real world as a halfling supernatural being, kind of in, more than kind of an outsider but trying desperately hard to fit in. Hope that focus doesn't get lost in endless shounen fights and angsting about a girl, whoever that ends up being. (The girls are super lame in this story, sigh.)

I HATE his hair in night form. That's one of the reasons i neglected to read it. why does it have to stick straight out like that?
Besides that, the plot is okay and i find the characters likeable.

evil4hunter: you said Rikou doesnt fight in his human form, but that is actually not true. Not to be rude or anything, but there is a scene where he is human and he fights really well, he is able to hold his own against a strong Youkai. I think this is a preview to his future as a Youkai/Human.

its kinda sad to see a few hq release then a few lq release.
hopefully theres a more uniform standard for all chapters,
(yea even going back to release hq version)
(meh who doesnt like to just dl from 1 group only.)
this artstyle fits nicely to the story and seems quite original to me.
or maybe someone can point out which series it borrowed plot from

So far, it seems like a pretty good story. I have learned more about youkai from this story than Inuyasha (much of the story is like a youkai encyclopedia). The characters are decent enough. Rikuo is actually one shounen star who actually knows how to use his power instead of going through the painfully long process of gaining strength as he goes along.
The only problem I have is that all of the youkai have called him "Rikuo" in his night form in front of Kana and Yura...how long is it supposed to take for them to realize who he is?

I think this manga is an excellent mix of original and standard, generic shounen elements.
The first few chapters do suffer a bit from monster-of-the-week syndrome and the timeline is a little confusing as it jumps around a bit (and where does the original oneshot fit in, or is that not canon?). However it doesn't take long at all for this series to find its footing, and I was hooked after about 10 chapters. It also feels like there is real character development happening, as even with the relatively small number of chapters that are out now some of the characters have already started to grow and mature (And no, by 'grow and mature' I don't mean 'trained and gained new powers'. I mean actual character growth.).
The fight scenes have been cool but mercifully short (at least so far...it looks like that might be changing, though). I do get annoyed by the tendency of shounen manga to drag out fights for chapter after chapter, but that hasn't been a problem with this manga (yet). There is also a potentially interesting romantic subplot developing, though it hasn't really been the focus thus far.
Anyway, to sum it up I think this series gets off to a bit of a confused start but quickly develops into something that has a lot of potential. There's action, comedy, romance, and enough original ideas to keep things interested. What more do you want?

this is a very interesting manga , although some might feel its a little bit generic shounen and some might feel the pace in the beginning being somewhat disconnected. but i say give this manga a chance , it does have the potential to be really good, at least i enjoyed it and feel its worth my time
So so

I think that the story is so so, but the characters remind me of Inuyasha .I don't say you copy, so don't take it the wrong way.And the way the story builds is a little sleepy, when time comes , the main character becomes superman, why doesn't he fight when he is in normal form, like shin angyo onshi . ...blah blah blah........
