Template:Nihongo, also known as simply Template:Nihongo, is a Japanese manga series by Kiichi Nagakubo. Its first two volumes were adapted to an animated feature film in 1989 and an OVA series in 1990 respectively.[1]
The series has been considered one of the first and greatest works in the "occult action" manga genre, as well as the onmyoji fiction genre popular in Japan.[2][3][4] After finishing its run in 2006, it was followed by spin offs till 2018, then a prequel series, Sukuna o Koroshita Kami-hen, in 2020.[5]
Plot
For centuries, Japan has been protected by the Ōgi family, a hereditary clan of exorcists who fight the supernatural forces of evil under the protection of their patron deity Karura. Born in the 38th generation of this family, twin sisters Shoko and Maiko are endowed with the powers of the Scroll of Heaven and the Scroll of Earth, which allow them to see and banish wicked spirits. Aided by fellow spiritualist Kenmochi and government agent Nishikiori, they pose as transfer students to fight evil.[1][6]
