Kekkaishi

By night, junior high student Yoshimori Sumimura is a "kekkaishi"--a demon-hunter who specializes in creating magical barriers around his prey. By day, Yoshimori's got some other demons to battle: an addiction to sweets and a seriously crothchety grandfather!

Yoshimori Sumimura and Tokine Yukimura have a special mission, passed down through their families for generations -- to protect Karasumori forest from supernatural beings called "ayakashi".

Yoshimori is a junior high student and demon hunter who creates magical barriers around his prey. The Kokuboro ayakashi demons attack his site to siphon the magical energies to heal their ailing princess.

Brother must rely upon brother in a daring escape! So why does Masumori send Yoshimori's friends to spy on him at the Karasumori Site? Then, when a flock of beautiful butterflies descends on Karasumori High School, all the students fall ill...

"Yoshimori tries to perfect the technique of emptying his mind. Some of his friends might consider this not too much of a challenge... Meanwhile, the leader of the Shadow Organization gives some shocking new orders, leading to horrific consequences for the Karasumori Site--and Yoshimori is implicated! Will Soji help him by spilling some beans...or remain as tight-lipped as ever? Then, things get even scarier with the arrival of --clowns!"--P. [4]...
