Nurarihyon no Mago

One of the best manga I've ever read and one of my most favorites. The story is about Nura Rikuo, a 3/4 human and 1/4 yokai (demon). He lives in a house full of spirits with his yokai grandfather, Nurarihyon, the current clan head of the Nura Clan. Rikuo is set to be the next clan head, despite the fact he dislikes his demon side. He soon come to terms with his demon blood and decides to take his position as the young master of the Nura house.---that's enough for background.
The first manga that got me impressed was Katekyo Hitman Reborn!. Sure, I read Naruto and Conan and all that in my early years of knowing manga, and I like all of them. I followed the story, I read every updated chapters, but I didn't get this feeling I have for Reborn!. I totally fell in love with this manga. And I still love it until now. The guys are just so cool! (AND hot at the same time) And then there's Ao no Exorcist, it was published some time after Nura Mago, and I love it the same way as Reborn. (But Rin will always have a special place in my heart!! Kyaa! Kyaa!) I like both of them, equally. Well maybe Ao no Exorcist better. But the feeling I got from reading Nura Mago is a bit different, it gives off more spiritual aura compared to Reborn&Ao. I get real excited everytime I read it. Not that I like it better than the two I mentioned earlier. This one's just got a different aura all over it. It's partly because the main protagonist's (aka Rikuo) splendid personality. He is one person at day and another at night (sounds scizophrenic right, but trust me the transition phase is really cool). He can be clumsy, yet he can be so graceful. Not to mention his handsome-ness in his night form...waaa... *nosebleed* *fainted*
To tell you the truth, the first time I read the chapter, I wasn't impressed with it at all. I didn't get the story. "What the heck is this!? You're 1/4 yokai and yet you're wearing glasses?! What's the point of being part demon if you're just end up as a weakling nerd??!", that was some bad impression man, I thought he was some kind like Inuyasha or something. You know, bad boy half-demon overload. But nooooo. I got a nerd with glasses. Idk, Rikuo's first appearence was just totally uncool. I thought he was a loser, like Tsuna's reborn (which, luckily, he wasn't). His face was pretty cute, though. But then I decided to continue reading. I read it with so many questions popped out of my head. How did a story like this become so popular? I really don't get it, I wonder in my thought. But then I found the answer. I got my first kickin' impression when Rikuo transformed into his yokai form. That was so damn cool it left me in awe, ladies and gentlemen. I mean, not only his face changed, his personality also. It's like he's a whole lot different person. I trembled with excitement (I'm sorry if this is a bit dramatic, ok, overly dramatic). So this was the thing that has made this series so popular. No wonder. Then I continued to read. And the story became even more and more cooler...well what do you know... And I actually fell in love with the series without even realizing...
Now, Nura-kun is one of my favorite manga characters. I am greatful for having a chance to know this manga. I am greatful that at that time, I decided to continue to read it... Nurarihyon no Mago has became part of my life~~~ Rikuo-kun, I want you to know that I love you so much!!!! I hope we can meet someday... Though it seems impossible...
I'm currently looking for the spoiler of chapter 171. The raw is usually in Chinese, but I don't care. At least I can see the pictures. Well, that's all for now. I don't know what else to write. bye
