Today's post is on Yurara, vol. 1 by Chika Shiomi. It is 200 page long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has the three main characters on it looking at the reader. The intended reader is someone who likes ghost stories and other normal shojo tropes. There is no foul language, no sex, and very mild violence in this book. The story is told from third person close of Yurara. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- There are two sides to every ghost story...
Yurara Tsukinowa is a quiet girl who can see spirits and sense their emotions. Not wanting to seem abnormal, she hides her secret until she meets Mei Tendo and Yako Hoshino, two guys who use their spiritual powers to ward off vengeful spirits. The dormant guardian spirit in Yurara arises and a strong-willed beauty with the power to release souls emerges!
On Yurara's first day of high school, she finds her assigned seat is occupied--by a ghost! Mei and Yako cannot banish the spirit, and Yurara's other self is released...
Review- An interesting and fun start series. Yurara has always been able to see ghosts and she wants to help them but they can very scary. On her first day of high school she meets two guys who can see and fight spirits. They are all about defending themselves and so Yurara's compassion for the trapped spirits is a little odd to them. This volume is about setting up the world and getting to know the characters but not much character growth happens. But that is OK as it is the first volume and I enjoyed my time with these characters and getting to see their world.
I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
