Synopsis

Kitaro the Vampire Slayer is the fifth volume in Shigeru Mizuki's bizarre stories about a yokai boy and his entourage of otherworldly friends. One of the most popular Kitaro tales, the title story pits Kitaro and his family against a Beatles-inspired mop-topped, guitar-playing vampire named Erit and his castle of horrors. In an unexpected twist - spoiler alert! - Kitaro meets his demise, but even death is hardly enough to keep our favorite yokai boy down. For fans of quirky horror, Kitaro the Vampire Slayer is not one to miss!
