tactics Volume 1
tactics Volume 1
Kantarou, a folklore scholar living in the Taisho period, has various and sundry adventures. But Kantarou moonlights as an exorcist solving the problems of ghosts and demons, all with the help of Haruka, the legendary demon-eating tengu!
From the author of the hit series, Detective Loki Ragnarok!
Three things tactics editor Lillian loves:
1920s fashion
Pretty boys with wings
Wacky comedy
Lucky for me, tactics combines all of these, with a heavy dose of Japanese culture and folklore along with it. Co-created by Sakura Kinoshita and Kazuko Higashiyama (who share both writing and artistic duties!), this series is a a big heap of fun.
Kantarou, our selfish, snarky, self-absorbed hero, is a folklore scholar and "youkai buster," who, when he isn't writing academic papers and low-selling books, goes around and helps solve mysterious goings on. He's aided by his youkai friends/servants, Youko, a fox spirit, and Haruka, the great demon-eating tengu, said to be the most powerful of all youkai creatures.
Unfortunately, Kantarou's fondness for puns, his quirky mannerisms, and the past that Haruka can't quite remember, have a tendency to get them into a lot of trouble. This series is completely charming and cute, with just enough angst and depth to keep things interesting! Check it out!

I love the anime!!
I've watched some of the Anime on Scifi network....maybe i'll collect the manga now that i know its only a T rating
tactics is so cool. you know on the scifi channel thay have tacites the anime on mondays at 10:00pm cental time
When I read this book, I didn't really understand it but as i was reading it, I realized that this is a really cool book to read.1_1
i bought tactics on a whim (mostly because Haruka reminds me of Dark) and LOVE it, the anime story is different but also very good, I cant wait for the 3rd volume to come out. YAY!
SKEEEE I hope they'll be more cute adorable scenes of Kantarou and Haruka
Tactics... the reason I joined Tokyo Pop!
sound interesting
Wow, only one comment for this? How sad. [I thank you, DreamReaper20!] This series is great! I had been waiting forever for the 3rd volume to come out when it was licensed by ADV Manga, and then heard that they had no plans to release it. I was completely crushed..but then I found out Tokyopop had licensed it. How happy I was! :D I am just sad about the slow releases. Anyone who likes comedy and cute characters would love this series. Kantarou is my absolute favorite character, and I believe that most of the characters are very unique. I also love the art style, and of course the story. From the moment I read the first volume, I fell in love with this series. I would recommend Tactics to anyone!
Okay, I realize no one has commented on this bookie so far... Well, it is a very good book. I bought the first one from ADV Manga before it became TOKYOPOP's property, and I liked it a lot. I was waiting for the second one to come out when I realized that the title had switched companies. With only slight sentence variations between the two translations, the story remains the same. Go out and read it. It's really quite good. XP
Sounds awesome, hope I get to read it soon
