Ga-Rei, or simply The Enchained Spiritual Beast Ga-Rei- sequel of Ga-Rei: Zero!

Genre: Action, Demon, Horror, Supernatural, Yuri

Sypnosis:
The Japanese Ministry of Defense has an anti-paranormal special forces group called the Paranormal Disaster Countermeasure Headquarters. They're the ones responsible to protect Japanese soil and its people from supernatural and paranormal events. However, things didn't go so well in one of their missions, which leads to intervention by the Ministry of Enviroment's Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Division after the PDCH has sustained large numbers of casualties battling demons.

 Main Protagonists:

Kensuki Nemura

The protagonist, an ordinary high school student who has had the ability to see ghosts ever since he was a kid. Because of this, he always felt different, but things changed after meeting Kagura. He started practicing kendo from a young age, being the son of a kendo instructor, and utilizes his skills during missions. When fighting, he sometimes dons a pair of sunglasses. The story-line concerns his growth as a spirit-user, his main weapon being swords. He initially wields "Michael #12," but after breaking it in a battle, is given the sword "Michael Revolution" in its place. He supports Kagura during her emotional lows, and a bond develops between them.

Spoiler :

Kensuke has the same sesshōseki that transformed Yomi into an evil spirit, embedded near his heart. According to Yomi, the sesshōseki itself wished to be placed there. The stone gifts him with partial memories of Yomi's past, as well as allowing his sword techniques to become radically more powerful. This stone was later removed when Imawano Setsuna forcefully tore it from his body in the Garden of Tamamo, fatally damaging his body in the process. He survived after Kagura defeated Setsuna and revived the Kyuubi, using its powers to restore his body from the brink of death. After firming his resolve to save Kagura from being controlled by the Kyuubi, he unleashes the true power of the Michael Revolution, the ability to cut through dimensions.

After the Counter-Measure department was broken up he stayed with Kagura as a Psychic consultant. He faces off against Kirin only to have his eye slashed protecting Izumi. After Kagura runs away with Izumi, he questions his lack of strength due to him being weaker than the other exorcist and losing to Okama and falls into a depression, which is only lifted by Tanuki's encouraging words. He is serving as her escort, opposite of Okama.

Later on we find out that Kensuke was an exorcist in a past life. His parents were killed by spirits in this past life, and Kirin's master was his teacher and exorcising partner in his past life as well. Said man was driven mad by the power of the sesshōseki, thus forcing Kensuke to kill him, and trapping him within the stone's karma.
Kagura mentions that Kensuke has a unique presence which puts spirits at ease and even Byakuei feels more secure when Kensuke is near.

------------------------

Kagura Tsuchimiya

 Always smiling, Kagura is the heroine of the story. She is feisty and ambitious and can put up a good fight with her spiritual beast, the Ga-Rei Byakuei (nicknamed Shirō), an inugami who resembles a large white dragon. She controls Byakuei from the seal on her back and a long chain that connects her soul to his, so any damage Byakuei receives also damages her as well. Over time, she becomes stronger and more motivated because of the support that Kensuke gives her. She shows signs of having feelings for Kensuke, as she gets jealous when Shizuru and Kensuke are spotted alone together and is shocked when Kyouko tells her that she should go out with Kensuke if she's worried about him. Although she initially treats Shizuru as a rival, they become closer as events in the manga progress.

Spoiler :

The anime shows a younger Kagura. Originally a shy, dutiful and sad young girl, her meeting with Yomi after her mother's death changed her life. She came to love Yomi, who treated her like a sister, and was under great emotional stress when she found out that Yomi had turned against the Agency and all of humanity.

In the anime, Kagura receives Byakuei from her father prior to his death, and her new weapon from Michael Kohara, the "Michael 13." The "Michael 13" would later be destroyed in a battle with Yomi, which is why Kensuke received the "Michael 12" instead of the 13. In the same battle that broke the "Michael 13," Kagura killed Yomi with the weapon Noriyuki left before his departure. Her bitter victory was a key which unlocked her restraints against fighting former-humans, as, according to Iwahata, once she killed the most important person to her, she would no longer have any reservations about killing anything else.

After gaining all of the sesshōseki and being deemed the victor, Kagura becomes the Kyuubi itself and rampages across the city, eventually being stopped by Kensuke. She has lost her memories as a result. She attends Kensuke's school and makes a temporary Psychic Consultant group. She's decided to continue the spirit investigations feeling it may unlock something.

Kagura regains some of her memories in chapters 38 and 39, and immediately recognizes "Izumi Isoyama" as Yomi. This causes Izumi/Yomi's transformation into a monster because of the sesshōseki. However, before Kensuke can stab Yomi, Kagura steps in front of his blade, removing the evil from Yomi and causing her to revert back into Izumi. She breaks her out of the Agency and goes on the run before "Judgement Day" caught up with them, during the struggle she finally remembers Kensuke. She is known by the members of "Judgement Day" as the "White Priestess", the opposite of Yomi.

-------------------------

Yomi Isayama

 

 Sister-figure of Kagura Tsuchimiya who turned evil because of the power of the sesshōseki. Also, she was the person who killed Kagura Tsuchimiya's father. She was killed by Kagura herself and has turned completely evil in her afterlife. She was extraordinarily talented when alive and slaughtered over 70 ministry agents by herself, and defeated the head of the Tsuchimiya clan and his spirit beast, Byakuei. As an evil spirit, she becomes even more powerful. She tries to awaken a great demon sealed in Tokyo, and seals a piece of the sesshōseki in Nimura Kensuke. For this, she incurs Kazuhiro's wrath, and he takes away her own sesshōseki. She dies when the demon is re-sealed.

 

 

 

 

 

Spoiler :

Yomi's past is prominently revealed in Ga-Rei: Zero, where she is shown to be more of a tragic heroine. She lost her parents at a young age to specters, and was taken in by Isayama Naraku, then head of the Isayama family. Yomi grew to love and respect her foster-father, and polished her skills to repay him for his kindness. Her efforts led to her inheritance of the priced Isayama heirloom, the sword Shishio, which held the spiritual beast Nue in it. Before Naraku's death, she was betrothed to Izuna Noriyuki and would have succeeded Naraku as the next Isayama head. However, Naraku's death at the hands of her cousin Mei, who was jealous of her good fortune, and the alteration of Naraku's will, resulted in her being stripped of her position in the family and therefore her entire inheritance. Yomi eventually found out the truth behind her father's death, revealed by Mei herself after the latter lured her out in order to kill her. Partly in self-defense, she killed Mei and avenged Naraku, but was ambushed by Mitagawa Kazuhiro, who wounded her so badly that she became hospitalized, her throat and most of the tendons in her body cut and unrepairable, unable to talk or move. This, in addition to the suspicion that she had murdered Mei, led to a series of events that caused her to succumb to Mitagawa's temptation to accept the sesshōseki. Though Yomi managed to retain some control over her mind, she had nonetheless fallen under the destructive influence of the stone, causing her to kill many members of the Agency. Ultimately, it was her love and desire to protect Kagura that caused her death at Kagura's hands, in a desperate wish that she could remove anything that would harm Kagura, including herself.

As of Chapter 34 a girl who looks like Yomi named Izumi Isoyama (磯山 泉, Isoyama Izumi^?) has transferred to the school as a result of the Kyuubi disaster and befriended Kagura. She admires Kagura in the same manner Kagura admired Yomi. When Kagura was in danger she instinctively used Kensuke's sword to split the spirit in half. At the end of 35 she said "Kagura, I won't let anyone else have you",in Chapter 37 Izumi seems to have shone a romantic love for Kagura, and in chapter 39, when addressed as Yomi by Kagura, who had just begun to regain her memories, Izumi's eyes turn yellow with slit pupils, much like Yomi's when she was under the power of the sesshōseki. Eventually after a grueling transformation into a monster because of the sesshōseki, Kagura saves her by interfering with Kensuke's blade which is about to kill her. The Agency imprisons Yomi with the intention of exorcising her, and Kagura breaks her free. It is revealed that Kagura's experience as the Kyuubi caused her desires to come true, including Yomi's resurrection. Noriyuki is fatally wounded when he protects Yomi from a stab meant for her. When she asks him why he did that, he says that it is because he's "like Kagura. I guess I, also still love you". As of chapter 49, Yomi had one of her protectors sacrifice the remaining power of his soul to save Noriyuki. He is seen later defending her from Mine, sharing the same Evil spirit state Yomi is in. Yomi and Izumi's souls are nearly completely merged. She is known as the "Black Priestess", which is the opposite of Kagura. While how it happened was never explained, during the events of the final battle Izumi was mysteriously freed from her merger with Yomi's soul.
