Angered by this proclamation, Lord Zen attacks Rikou with his poisonous feathers. None of the top heads will support Rikou’s position as the heir. He denies his succession as he is only a mere human. Upon seeing him, he immediately calls him, “Master!” Rikou is only too happy that Lord Zen is visiting. Lord Zen, a Bird Yokai, of the Zen Ippa Group visits Rikou, the third heir of the Nura Clan, the next morning with his assistant, Hebidayu. Suddenly, that man in the tree disappears.

Aotoba and Yuki-ona (Snow girl) kills off the demon. The beast comes after them, and Rikou is about to change into his demon form when his own retainers come to his rescue. Rikou tries to clear as many rooms as possible, but eventually, they stumble into the kitchen with a resident demon as guardian. Rikou realizes soon enough that there are spirits, spirits that do not belong to the Nura Clan, which reside in the school. Three boys (including Rikou) and Kana, the sole female, visits the school late at night to disproof the myth of a haunted school. His “friends” at school will be tempting fate tonight by searching for spirits there. Rikou assembles his retainers, aka the demons living under his grandfather’s roof, and orders them not to venture anywhere near the old high school. They want him to instill fear in humans and spirits alike. The Nura Clan is awaiting the return of that demon to lead them on their Night Parade of a 100 demons. After his inner demon was awakened (his night persona) four years ago, he was named heir to the throne. Twelve-year-old Rikou doesn’t want any part of this job.

They are led by the king of the underworld, the Supreme Commander, the Lord of Pandemonium Nurarihyon. However, one character exorcises demons, while the other is the demon himself. His alter ego, on the other hand, is what the rest of the demon world are waiting for to appear and lead them on their fear parade.Īt first glance, the premise of the story is akin to Shonen Onmyouji, where the grandson is forced to succeed and live up to the family name. Rikou looks innocent and kind enough, being all but 12 years old. Factions arise to stop and usurp his position as Rikou gathers friends and allies to strengthen his claim to spread “Fear.” However, he soon comes to terms with his demon blood and his place in the House of Nura. He lives with his youkai grandfather in a house filled with spirits that call him “Master” / “Waka.” He constantly does good deeds to escape his fate of becoming a demon himself, despite his grandfather’s wishes of his succession to the Nura clan.
