Nue's Exorcist, Vol. 5

A powerful spirit awaits the right human to free her—and she’s ready for some PVP!

For as long as he can remember, Gakuro Yajima’s been able to see spirits—beings that are drawn to human sadness and anger. A fateful encounter with a quirky pop culture–loving spirit named Nue marks the start of Gakuro’s spirit-exorcist adventure!

Gakuro’s long-lost stepsister has joined the squad on their latest spirit hunt, but upon the sudden appearance of the spirit that killed their father, Shitotsu flies into a rage! The battle turns nasty after she is gravely injured, and Gakuro is left to try to protect her.
