Kitaro the Vampire Slayer

Kitaro the Vampire Slayer is the fifth volume in Shigeru Mizuki’s bizarre stories about a yokai boy and his entourage of otherworldly friends. One of the most popular Kitaro tales, the title story pits Kitaro and his family against a Beatles-inspired mop-topped, guitar-playing vampire named Eryt and his castle of horrors. In an unexpected twist―spoiler alert!―Kitaro meets his demise, but even death is hardly enough to keep our favorite yokai boy down.
