Synopsis

In an isolated village, two twins were born, separated by day and night. It is years later, and while the older brother Yuru has become a hunter of animals, his sister Asa has been locked away in a cage, ordered to perform a special duty that prohibits her from meeting more than a few select individuals.

On an otherwise inconspicuous day, a group of armed men riding in helicopters, referred to as "dragons" by the citizens, assaults the village in search of Yuru, killing every adult on sight. When Yuru attempts to meet up with Asa and flee, he finds a dead body instead—on top of that, the person who killed her claims to be Yuru's true twin sister.

Before the woman can capture him, Yuru is rescued by a man named Dera, an outsider who frequently visits the village. However, it is not long before the two are cornered. In a last-ditch effort, Dera makes Yuru give a gift to the deity of the village, summoning a pair of daemons whose existence is bound to reveal the truth behind these chaotic events.

Preliminary (5/? eps)
A young man discovering what really rests beyond the veil of his humble village begins to learn that the world and the details of his life were nothing more than a façade. An opening chapter that has caught my attention like none other Yomi no Tsugai is a fresh taste that people will be talking about for the years to come!

The work of Arakawa, Hiromu has long been recognized since the cultural uprising across the world that came along Full Metal Alchemist in the yearly 2000's, and her work is just as stunning in the coming forth of Yomi no Tsugai.

Worth the read!

Preliminary (5/? eps)
This bi-monthly series started in December and only has five chapters to it's name, but it's already giving off some big impressions. This is Hiromu Arakawa's first fantasy manga since Fullmetal Alchemist and the writing quality is definitely up to snuff.

The plot is basically a reverse isekai where entities known as 'tsugai' can be used by humans to fight other superpowered beings. I know that sounds dumb but believe me when I say it's dope as fuck. I can't really say much else because not much else has been revealed. This series is still young, after all. But this is a hell of a beginning ...

Preliminary (4/? eps)
Fish-out-of-water protagonist learns about a world of user-specific spiritual hijinks, with the typical spread of blood-tie motivations and power-grabs. The pitch isn't that revolutionary.

That said, the introductions are digestible, not overly-explanatory, and very early in there's a good mix of subversions, humor and stakes/danger. It's fun learning details about the world history to tie together cultures, locations and histories. Assuming the mangaka stays on the ball like she has with previous work (which I trust her to), I could see this growing into a much more discussed and anticipated work globally.

Characters are charming, mesh well together and while it's hard not to box ...
