What's Onibi About

Publisher Summary

Winner Japan International Manga Award Honorable Mention for 2018 Freeman Book Awards for Children’s and Young Adult’s Literature on East and Southeast Asia Short-listed for the 2019 Dwayne McDuffie Award for Kids’ Comics Part fantasy, part travelogue–this graphic novel transports readers to the intersection of the natural and supernatural worlds. Onibi: Diary of a Yokai Ghost Hunter follows the adventures of two young foreigners as they travel to a remote and mysterious corner of Japan. Along the way, they purchase an old camera that has the unique ability to capture images of Japan’s invisible spirit world. Armed with their magical camera, they explore the countryside and meet people who tell them about the forgotten ghosts, ghouls and demons who lie in wait ready to play tricks on them. These Yokai, or supernatural beings, are sometimes kind, sometimes mischievous, and sometimes downright dangerous! Readers young and old will enjoy following along on this journey of mystery and discovery. The comic book format will appeal to anime and manga fans, while introducing the ancient spirit world that is such an important part of Japanese culture. With the help of Atelier Sento’s gorgeous watercolor and colored pencil artwork, you can’t help but feel immersed in this fantasy.
