Synopsis

Rikuo Nura appears to be an ordinary middle school student. Appearances, however, can be deceiving. In reality, the young boy has one-fourth of youkai blood and is the heir to a large clan of youkai led by his grandfather, Nurarihiyon. As a small child, he was told that youkai often perform evil deeds, leading to his reluctance to succeed the Nura Clan and doing whatever he could to avoid his destiny.

During the night, Rikuo undergoes a transformation into a fearsome youkai who resembles Nurarihiyon in his prime. Realizing that he can use his power to protect others, he accepts his inheritance, aiming to unite all the youkai factions across Japan and establish his own "Night Parade of a Hundred Demons."

ENGLISH:
I definitely don’t recommend Nura to 90% of the audience. Let me explain why. The manga is very good, I had a lot of fun reading it, but the series has a terrible start. It takes a LONG time to get engaging, way too long. Like, it only really picks up around volume 7, basically chapter 50. After that, you’ll love it. But reading 49 chapters that feel just "meh" is really discouraging. Nura has great characters and fantastic art. The story arcs connect REALLY well. But it fails by having too many characters, where it only kills villains and makes sure every hero survives. ... This ends up destroying any real sense of danger. Overall, Nura has 4 parts. Volumes 1-6 are pretty weak, to the point where I’d even say some arcs in this first saga are horrible. The second part, volumes 7-16, is amazing, no complaints, it’s phenomenal. The third part, from volumes 17-21, has some boring moments and forced plot points to keep character X from dying. The final part, volumes 22-25, starts off very well. Between chapters 185-207, it works great and is excellent. But in chapters 208-210, there are some issues. The manga was removed from Shonen Jump because it wasn’t popular in the magazine, but it was selling REALLY well. So Jump wanted to publish Nura in another magazine to wrap up the story and boost that other publication. But the author decided to finish the story in three chapters, each with 60 pages. Clearly, this was out of spite because articles from 2012 said it would end, but it wasn’t canceled. This manga was never canceled. The author even put many important events as extras in the bonus chapters. And let’s not forget that important pages showing the fate of certain characters were only included in the tankobon, not because of a lack of time, but because he just wanted to wrap things up. I own all 25 physical volumes, and Jump didn’t cancel it; the author just wanted to end it that way, and I didn’t like it. But the reason for this was that he didn’t want to continue. Honestly, he should’ve just taken a hiatus rather than closing the manga like that. The ending was good, but many important events were left implied. That was poorly handled. If you haven’t read many manga series, Nura will be good. But if you’re already used to masterpieces, Nura will be disappointing.

PT-BR:
Eu definitivamente não recomendo Nura para 90% do públiico.
Vou dizer o porquê. O mangá é muito bom, me diiverti muito lendo, mas a obra tem um péssimo inicio. E ela demora MUITO para engajar, até demais. Tipo, ela engaja lá para o volume 7, no capítulo 50 basicamente. Depois disso você vai amar a obra. Mas ler 49 capítulos que você acha +- é muito broxante.
Nura tem ótimos personagens, uma ótima arte. Os arcos se conectam MUITO bem. Mas ele falha em ter muito personagem, onde ele só mata viilão, e faz qualquer mocinho sobreviver. Logo destruindo qualquer sensação de perigo.
Ao todo, Nura tem 4 partes. Volume 1-6 que é bem fraco, ao ponto de eu até achar alguns arcos dessa primeira saga horríveis. A segunda que é do 7-16 que é muito boa, não tem o que reclamar, é fenomenal. A terceira parte que é do 17-21, tem uns momentos chatos e com roteiro forçado para personagem X não morrer.
E a última que é do 22-25. começa muito bem. Ela entre os capítulos 185-207 funciona muito bem e é ótima. Mas no capítulo 208-210 tem uns problemas. O mangá foi retirado da Shonen Jump por motivos que na revista ela não era popular, mas vendia MUITO bem. Logo a Jump queria publicar Nura em outra revista para fechar a historia e impulsionar aquela revista. Mas o autor ele só decidiu fechar a história em 3 capítulos de 60 páginas cada. Claramente foi por birra, pois os artigos de 2012 falavam que seria finalizado, não que foi cancelado, nunca foi cancelado esse mangá. Tanto que o autor fez muito evento importante aparecer como extra nos capítulos extra, e sem dizer que página importante que mostrava destino de personagens ele só botou no tankobon, e não foi por falta de tempo, ele só queria fechar a história. Eu tenho os 25 volumes físicos, a jump não cancelou, foi o autor que quis fechar assim, eu não curti.
Mas o motivo disso foi porque ele não queria continuar. Sinceramente, fizesse um hiato, mas não fechasse o mangá assim. O final foi bom, mas muitos acontecimentos importante ficaram sub-entendidos. Ficou ruim isso.
Mas se você não leu muitos mangás, Nura será bom, mas se você já ta acostumado com obras primas, Nura será ruim.

1-History:The story revolves around a character who seeks to become the leader of the "Nura clan", clan that covers 10,000 youkai, this character lives (at least at the beginning) in an impasse between living as a human or in his "ayakashi" way (he is 1/4 youkai), obviously I couldn’t focus on just that, the work itself is very vast and well built, the plot is well interwoven, requiring a certain intelligence to understand it as a whole (which I admire), in addition a person who started the work "of middle "(as many do) would have difficulty understanding what was going on, this work is a ... butterfly effect, an act in the first episode influences the last.
The story covers several historical periods, and so it ends up teaching us interesting things about those periods, in addition to showing us some interesting thoughts and facts about human (or ayakashis) nature, so I can also say that Nurarihyon no Mago is a work very deep at that point, and very interesting.]
2-Art:very beautiful, a trait that I liked a lot. It's a bit heavy (the black shading just creates this feeling), it doesn't have constant anatomical errors and it has very well-designed action scenes (which surprised me), I really liked the characters' traits, they are very pretty (although not really like the trait of human Rikuo, what big eye is that?)
3-characters:very fine built; Nurarihyon no Mago impresses with the gigantic size of the cast, and it impresses me even more that most are important and we can see a good development, the evolution of Rikuo is commendable, as well as that of Tsurara, the scenes from the past arches show how Kurotabou, Ao and Cia evolved, changed. This manga made me abandon the belief that "humans don't change" (not that ayakashis are humans) for a while, I was really able to examine each character in a very pleasant way, from Rikuo to Abe No Seimei.
4-Enjoyment: this work pleased me very much, it is very original and impressive in several points, a work that captivated me, enough for me to finish everything in about three days, if it was bad I would be reading for weeks, it won me over, simply
5-Overall:Nurarihyon no Mago is a very well-built work, with a well-thought-out story, well-made features and well-developed characters, summing up, it has everything that most works do not have, even though this work is not able to enter between my animes and favorite manga, it sure goes into a "TOP 15", it's a shame that it's not popular, I definitely recommend it, if you're reading this and will read the manga, "welcome and have a great read", if you already I read, "buddy, really, I want a third season"

Nurarihyon no Mago

Watched the anime many years ago, which unfortunately ended with season 2 ( that ended at chapter 134). I had relatively positive memories of the anime and rewatched it to get into the manga better.

Well, what was my conclusion? Simple. My interest was completely wasted.

Although Nuarhyon no Mago has a very interesting concept with some relatively decent power systems that even had some charm. This whole manga is just hot air. No matter what the author did, he was unable to build even the slightest hype. No matter how many times he presents "This demon is so strong!!!" it doesn't change ...
