Back: Guren/Mokkun
Storyline
Set on surpassing his legendary grandfather as the best onmyouji (artist of magic and divination), Abe must unlock his sealed powers, fight demons and protect the princess of the Fujiwara Clan.
Adapted from a popular long running novel, Shonen Onmyouji explores the world of onmyoudou, the art of magic and divination used in the courts of ancient Japan; and onmyouji, the practitioners of these arts.
The story revolves around the life of Abe no Masahiro, cocky, clumsy grandson to the famed onmyouji of real Japanese legend, Abe no Seimei. While alternately being taught and taunted by his famous and powerful grandfather since young, Masahiro's overwhelmingly strong sixth sense and spiritual sight were sealed for his own safety until the day he should be old enough to control them.
Masahiro's adventure truly begins when he crosses paths with a spirit he calls Mokkun, and which looks like a cross between a cat, bunny and monkey. The spirit seems to know of him and his grandfather; and Masahiro later discovers that Mokkun, in his true form, becomes Guren, one of the 12 spirits or shikigami summoned to protect his grandfather.
With Mokkun as his guide and protector, and his grandfather his silent aide, Masahiro begins to unlock his hidden powers and abilities, following his destiny to become a powerful and respected onmyouji, far greater than his grandfather ever was.
