Follows junior high school student Yoshimori Sumimura and his sixteen-year-old neighbor and childhood friend, Tokine Yukimura, as they battle evil forces in their mission to protect Karasumori forest.

Students by day, demon hunters by night! By night, teenager Yoshimori Sumimura is a "kekkaishi"--a demon-hunter who specializes in creating magical barriers around his prey. By day, Yoshimori's got other demons to battle: an addiction to sweets and a seriously crotchety grandfather! Yoshimori's pretty neighbor and childhood friend, Tokine Yukimura, is also a kekkaishi, but their families are feuding over who is the true practitioner of the art. The three kekkaishi-in-arms--Tokine, Yoshimori, and Gen--are not getting along! So much so that Gen's sensei, Atora, challenges them to a task requiring real teamwork! Meanwhile, when the Kokuboro princess falls ill, the ayakashi pursue her cure in increasingly nefarious ways. Plus, Gen receives a strange gift from an enemy--one that may reveal something about himself that he would prefer not to know!

The tables finally turn when a classmate falls for Yoshimori. Could it be that Tokine is actually...jealous? Then, family duty calls when Mom sends a dragon-a-gram and big brother Masamori assigns a task that can only lead to temptation: guard the entrance to a mysterious magical site with your life, but whatever you do, don't go inside! -- VIZ Media
