Devil Hunter Yohko

 Image Indexes: Index 1

Mano Yohko may seem like a typical high school girl. She is sixteen years old, athletic, pretty, and boy crazy. She lives in a nice house with her mom and her grandmother. But once you get past that, Yohko is hardly normal.

One day while in a public pool, Yohko is attacked underwater by a demon. As Yohko struggles to escape, a momentary burst of 'power' comes from within her soul, freeing her of the beast. Later that day, Yohko discovers from her grandmother that she comes from a long line of mamono, or 'devil,' hunters.

Many of the female members of the Mano family have been mamono hunters, fighting evil spirits and demons throughout history. Over the years, they have been successful in preventing evil from taking over mankind. Yohko learns that she was able to escape the earlier attack because her powers have been manifesting as she grew up, and that now she is indeed the 108th generation mamono hunter.

Description:
Yohko is an ordiniary schoolgirl who is infatuated with one of her attractive male schoolmates. What she *doesn't* know is that she comes from a family of demon hunters...and she is next in line to receive the power. A powerful demon is aware of this, and seeks to kill her, or prevent her from receiving the power. A light-hearted romp into the demon-hunting/cute girl anime stereotype. The 2nd part gives Yohko an apprentice named Azusa and is even sillier than the 1st part. Part 3 is about a man Yohko falls in love in...in her dreams. Part 5 has been billed to be about the "death of Yohko"...
