Kekkaishi

Students by day, demon hunters by night!

Created by Yellow Tanabe | MoreLess about Kekkaishi

By night, teenager Yoshimori Sumimura is a “kekkaishi”—a demon-hunter who specializes in creating magical barriers around his prey. By day, Yoshimori’s got other demons to battle: an addiction to sweets and a seriously crotchety grandfather! Yoshimori’s pretty neighbor and childhood friend, Tokine Yukimura, is also a kekkaishi, but their families are feuding over who is the true practitioner of the art.

Born June 13th in Tokyo. She is a Gemini. Yellow Tanabe’s first manga story “Yami no Naka” (In the Dark) received an honorable mention in Shogakukan’s prestigious Shinjin Comic Taisho (Newcomer’s Award for Comics). Her first published manga Lost Princess debuted in 2002. Kekkaishi first appeared in 2003, in Weekly Shonen Sunday.
