Chain Yokai: Book 1. The Hunter

What we know about Yokai

1.While commonly believed to be from Japan, yokai actually spring up as a result of intense human emotion
2. Contrary to common myth, humans cannot become yokai
3. All yokai are sentient, and have a conscience, and therefore responsible for their actions.
4. Only 7 instances of children being born by yokai and human parentage have ever been physically proven. One of which is a girl by the name of Laura Riswaldo.

Laura Riswaldo is a girl living in Taipei, Taiwan. Having always been considered strange, Laura doesn't find it surprising. Red eyes that tend to glow at times, not to mention the ability to shoot and manipulate magical iron chains from any part of her body, yep, no surprises on being considered weird.
Truth is, Laura is part Yokai, and unlike what people would normally think, she's got absolutely no problem with it. Laura is ambitious though, she aims to get in to the prestigious Yokai Hunter Academy, a place that trains youths to become Yokai Hunters, enforcers who lay down the law on Yokai who cause crimes. Her adopted brother Sora is already a major high level student in the Japan branch Academy, and she want's to nab a similar spot herself. Now if only Laura can get a better handle on her powers, her place as the Academy's regional top student, might just be gauraunteed.
