Anyone heard of Peacock King?
I have been reading this manga series known as Peacock King (literal translation from Mandarin) or otherwise know as Kujaku Ou or Spirit Warrior. It is about a Japanese monk who fights demons using his magick powers. He mainly does the mystical hand signs, loosely based on the ninjitsu hand signs like the ones in the American Ninja movie, to unleash his powers.
The author of the series is Makoto Ogino. His latest series is Onryouji. That's also another hero slays demon manga. Kinda like Buffy but way better in my opinion. In this new series, we have a University conducting night classes. On magick with an emphasis on demon slaying. Some fan service here as the female students in the night class wear ultra short mini skirts, and in the heat of combat, tend to show off their panties. The idea is that the male students pair off with their female counterparts so as to unleash the yin yang tai chi move.
Do share your feelings on this great manga.
