Story: 9
For those familiar with Rumiko Takahashi's 'InuYasha', will see a similar partnership that both Ushio and Tora have as they battle many of Japan's supernatural folklore in this epic manga.
At first you may come across this tale as your typical shōnen genre of boy receiving some sort of power(in this case Ushio receiving the beast spear) and using it to fight for justice, but once you delve further into the story and get to know the characters, you will learn that there is more than meets the eye, and will come across a classic that spans to 33 volumes of awesomeness that is Ushio
