Summary: When Ah-ryoung was only a baby, her mother made a pact with a demon named Nachal, who would claim Ah-ryoung's body once she turns 15.

She has inherited her mother's considerable spiritual powers but that “gift” that allows her to see ghosts even from an early age, has made her an outcast for the other kids.

She has finally turned 15 and it’s now time for the demon to claim her body... but then an accident happens...

Review: A cute series that reminds me a bit of "InuYasha", not so much because of the plot but because Nachal has a similar wild personality as InuYasha.

A mother makes a pact w/ some sort of spirit demon named Nachal, in return, he gets her daughter's body when she turns 15 years old. If Nachal doesn't get a body, his soul will be dragged to hell.

On the other hand, Ah-ryoung has grown up as the weirdo in her school because she's always been able to see and interact w/ spirits that one can see. However, she's been marked on the death lists for shinigami to take her away when she turns 15. So we have Nachal who’s after the possession of her body, and shinigami who are after her soul.

I think it's cute that the heroine is a bit dense and weird. It's also amusing how Nachal tries to trick her into giving up her soul to the shinigami so he can have her body for himself. It's also interesting when Nachal does take control of her body and kicks ultimate ass w/ it.

Overall, I really enjoyed this series. The artwork is also very good. I can't wait to read more.

Rate: 7/10
