Death note. Great in general and detailed rules about the supernatural element i.e. Death note.
Mieruko chan has interesting supernatural elements as well.
Among manga I'd say Dandadan has probably the most diverse and interesting supernatural elements. Chainsaw man is pretty good as well.

Tokyo Ravens is one of those shows that are good, but still feel like they're lacking in something

Like Tokyo Ravens is lacking something (it was a bit watered down not to mention only a partial adaptation) or my list is lacking...?

More focus on the story and going deeper into the source would make it way way better title...but even as it is, it has some unique flavored to it and we don't get many onmyoji shows anyway. Also don't let me start it on how much I disliked Shounen Onmyouji - https://myanimelist.net/anime/1557/Shounen_Onmyouji

Not really because I like some shoujo...
For example in my supernatural list there is Ghost Hunt which is shoujo and coincidentally it has some of the best onmyouji scenes I have seen (along some other supernatural stuff).
Natsume Yuujinchou is shoujo too and does its yokai stuff pretty well.

My point was that we don't get good onmyouji series very often, good ones even less.
If you are aware of such please recommend me some! I am somehow fascinated by the subject.

I was more pocking fun to the fact the title has shounen, but demographic is shoujo. Though, you're right. I am myself big fan of Natsume, but maybe more because of the iyashikei aspect of it. Ghost Hunt is one of shows that I have been planning to watch for a long time, but 30 seasonal rom-coms take their time.

Of recent onmyouji shows I can recall only Sousei no Onmyouji, which is basically D.Gray-Man clone trashed by the community (I liked it), and Fukigen na Mononokean, which is pretty good. There are a lot yokai shows like Kyokou Suiri, Hanako-kun and Kemono Jihen, but they all lack the onmyoji aspect in classical sense.

Thanks for you recommendations.
I dropped Twin Star Exorcists in 2016 but I am unfamiliar with the rest, will check on them.
