Rikuo Nura wishes nothing more than a peaceful existence free from evil youkai. However, being a quarter youkai himself and with his grandfather, Nurarihyon, pushing him to become the head of their clan, he faces challenges in achieving this goal. Despite his ability to conceal his supernatural identity during the day by transforming only for six hours at night, Rikuo must contend with numerous factions seeking to harm both his human and youkai companions. In order to survive, he has no choice but to embrace his youkai nature. Being Nurarihyons grandson is not an easy burden to bear.
Advanced screenings of the first two episodes of Nurarihyon no Mago were held in select TOHO Cinemas on June 13 and 20 of 2010. The full anime aired on Yomiuri TV, Tokyo MX, Chuukyou TV, BS11, Animax, among other stations in Japan.
