Ushio and Tora

Ushio and Tora

A manga about the boy Ushio who releases the monster Tora from his imprisonment in his storage basement from the Beast Spear that grants humans incredible power in exchange for their soul. Now Ushio must battle demons while keeping Tora in check.

We’ve discussed this on an older episode.

An absolute masterpiece of shonen action horror manga from Kazuhiro Fujita. Fujita ends up cramming all his ideas into his debut series, for better and for worse. While some story arcs drag a bit, all of them contain amazingly horrific art work that still creeps me out today.

Unfortunately the manga has never been officially licensed but you can watch the excellent anime adaptation while praying for a release like Morgana does!
