Devil Hunter Yohko
A.D. Vision
English subbed

45 minutes
Hi! My name is Yohko Mano, and I'm a typical Japanese High School Student...at least, that's what I always thought I was until a monster tried to eat me at the swimming pool! Since then things have gotten really weird around here, what with my best friends getting possessed by demons, the boy of my dreams being abducted by a blood-sucking succubous, and my Grandmother telling me that I'm really the 108th generation of a family of professional Devil Hunters. It all sounds pretty crazy, I know, but after the last few days I'm beginning to think that this is more than just a little serious, especially since Grandma says I'm the only one who can stop our world from being invaded by an army of demons, and that they'll do anything they can to get rid of me first!
So, anyway, it looks like I'll be talking over the family business, even if it's not the most glamorous occupation I could think of. I just hope that this bit about my having to stay "physically pure" isn't going to put too much of a crimp in my social life. I mean, I am in high school, after all!
