It’s back, baby. It being Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, the manga by Hiroshi Shiibashi.
The manga ran from 2008 to 2012 and spawned multiple seasons of anime. Now 11 years after the manga ended, it’s getting a new short-run manga in the pages of Ultra Jump magazine.
Subtitled Kage (Shadow), it follows main character Rikuo during the period between his third year of grade school to his first year of middle school, which was not depicted in the original manga. Serialization starts today, April 19. There will be four chapters in total.
Here’s our review of the first volume of Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan from way back in 2011, and here’s how Viz Books describes it:
While the day belongs to humans, the night belongs to yokai, supernatural creatures that thrive on human fear. Caught between these worlds is Rikuo Nura. He’s three-quarters human, but his grandfather is none other than Nurarihyon, the supreme commander of the Nura clan, a powerful yokai consortium. So, Rikuo is an ordinary teenager three quarters of the time, until his yokai blood awakens. Then Rikuo transforms into the future leader of the Nura clan, leading a hundred demons!
