Marc Notes:
Reads right to left.; 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. Who among our friends and enemies will sacrifice themselves-or others-to save the world from annihilation? What will be the ultimate fate of the child Chushinmaru, a spirit reservoir trapped alone for 400 years in the mystical site of Karasumori? And what is the final destiny of Karasumori's faithful guardians, Yoshimori and Tokine...?!--P. [4] of cover.; 8; Rated T for teen.; Translated from the Japanese.
