Ushio to Tora

Also known as Ushio and Tora.

Status: Finished
Genres: Comedy , Supernatural

It centers around the travels and battles of one Aotsuki Ushio, who is constantly being stalked and aided by a gigantic, supernatural and sometimes invisible tiger (Some people describe it as akin to Calvin and Hobbes on acid).

Ushio's family maintains a Shinto temple in Japan, where 500 years ago, his samurai ancestor battled that same tiger to a standstill, and eventually trapped him against a rock using, a blessed spear called the "Beast Spear", which in addition to its intrinsic formidability as a weapon, can also boost the physical powers of the user. While cleaning out the temple storage, Ushio accidentally unseals the chamber which Tora was trapped in. Initially, Ushio wisely refused to remove the spear pinning Tora (とら, Japanese for tiger) down, as Tora unwisely makes the strategic blunder of mentioning that the first thing he would do upon being freed would be to devour Ushio; but Tora's unsealed presence attracts various demons to the premises, and Ushio is forced to free Tora in exchange for his help. The series focuses on their relationship, interspersed with battles against mythological foes, and with Tora's attempts to grapple with modern life and gobble up Ushio.

Note: Won the Seiun Award for Best Comic of the Year in 1997.
It also received the Shogakukan Manga Award for shounen in 1992.

Mitsujiro, a blonde Japanese-American half who came from the United States, is assigned to a high school where her sister Nagisa attends as an English teacher. Mitsujiro and Nagisa's father went to the United States before Nagisa was born, and Nagisa's mother died shortly after moving to the United States. For this reason, Nagisa had a strong complex with English and blonde hair, and was reluctant to call Mitsujiro "an older brother." However, she gradually overcomes the complex through interacting with Mitsujiro and his classmates. Then, in order to find out why his father broke up with Nagisa's mother and went to the United States with Mitsujiro, she left for the United States with Mitsujiro to meet his father.
