Daemons of the Shadow Realm
From the legendary creator of Fullmetal Alchemist comes a brand-new supernatural epic that has already taken the manga world by storm. Daemons of the Shadow Realm, widely known among fans by its original title Yomi no Tsugai or the fan-favorite Tsugai of the Underworld, introduces us to a world where the boundary between our reality and the supernatural is razor-thin.
Deep within a secluded mountain village, Yuru lives a simple life as a hunter, staying close to the only family he has left: his twin sister, Asa. But beneath the surface of their peaceful home lies a dark and unsettling secret. While Yuru roams the forest, Asa is kept in a cage, performing a mysterious duty that no one will explain. Why is his sister a prisoner? And what are the stone guardians truly protecting? When their village is suddenly attacked by modern technology and strange creatures, Yuru discovers that everything he knew was a lie. The guardians of his village are more than just stone statues, and the bond between twins holds a power that could shake the foundations of the world.

Winning second place in the 2023 Next Manga Award, it is clear that Hiromu Arakawa has crafted yet another must-read sensation. Join Yuru as he steps out of the shadows of his village and into a world where ancient spirits meet modern warfare.
