Kekkaishi

by night, junior high student yoshimori sumimura is a “kekkaishi”–a demon-hunter who specializes in creating magical barriers around his prey. by day, yoshimori’s got some other demons to battle: an addiction to sweets and a seriously crotchety grandfather! yoshimori’s pretty 16-year-old neighbor and childhood friend, tokine yukimura, is also a kekkaishi, but their families are feuding over who is the true practitioner of the art. kekkaishi received the 2007 shogakukan manga award for shounen manga.
