Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatari Vol. 9

NEW RECRUITS As a result of the meeting between the Three Great Saenome Clans, two new Saenome are added to Botan’s security detail—much to the chagrin of everyone in the Nagatsuki household. Hyoma takes it all in stride, determined to keep protecting Botan—even when offered the chance to go after the paper umbrella tsukumogami. But the atmosphere at the Nagatsuki house becomes tense when Hyoma learns the true goal of one of the new Saenome. If Hyoma assists with her goal, he’ll find himself up against not only the Nagatsuki tsukumogami, but possibly his own family!
Series Overview: There are powerful beings whose spirits dwell within old objects: tsukumogami. Hyoma is a young man who despises these evil spirits for robbing him of something precious. His mission: to use the supernatural powers granted to him to dispatch these tsukomogami back to their own world, no matter what it takes.
But when Hyoma’s grandfather sends him to live with Botan, a kind-hearted girl who peacefully shares a house with an assortment of overprotective tsukumogami, it’s more than Hyoma can bear. Can Botan help Hyoma overcome his rage, or will his thirst for vengeance lead him down a dark and violent path?
