Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan

Rikuo Nura wants an ordinary middle school life despite sharing his home with a large household of yokai.

Synopsis
The Anime Lad

Rikuo Nura attends middle school and would prefer to remain an unremarkable student. This is complicated by his home, which is populated by yokai. He keeps pursuing ordinary friendships and routines while supernatural housemates treat unusual events as domestic business. Normal adolescence remains technically available, though rarely on the schedule.

Super Eyepatch Fox

Meet Rikuo, a middle school student committed to an ordinary life. His classmates see a quiet boy. At home, he lives among yokai who make privacy and normal routines difficult. School concerns keep colliding with supernatural household trouble, forcing him to balance two worlds without advertising the stranger one.

Gigguku

Rikuo lives in a house packed with yokai, yet his grand ambition is a completely normal middle school life. NORMAL. That impossible goal gives the series its comic energy because supernatural trouble keeps barging into friendships and school routines. Every peaceful afternoon feels like a tiny victory over his extraordinary home life.

Father's Basement

The early school material can feel familiar, and the large yokai household arrives with plenty of names to absorb. The central contrast still works. Rikuo wants ordinary friendships while spirits fill his home and complicate daily life. That pressure gives the comedy a sturdy center instead of treating folklore as decoration.

Rikuo Nura appears to be an average middle school student. No one knows that he comes home every day to a house full of youkai, nor that he transforms into the all-powerful leader of these spirits at night.

What defines it

A supernatural shounen. Classic yokai action.
