Yamada Monogatari: Demon Hunter

by Richard Parks

  • In an ancient Japan where the incursions of gods, ghosts, and demons intothe living world is an everyday event, an impoverished nobleman named Yamada noGoji makes his living as a demon hunter for hire. With the occasional assistanceof the reprobate exorcist Kenji, whatever the difficulty — ogres, demons,fox-spirits — for a price Yamada will do what needs to be done, even andespecially if the solution to the problem isn’t as simple as the edge of asword. Yet, no matter how many monsters he has to face, or how powerful andterrible they may be, the demons Yamada fears the most are his own!

I didn't really get into this one. Fans of Japanese mythology may like it, though.
