Yozakura Quartet...
Yozkura Quartet centers around a group of demons and a human as they try to protect the human and demon residents of the small town of Sakurashin...
In the first half of Yozakura Quartet, events move at a fairly leisurely pace and have more of the feel of a slice-of-life drama. The first half of the series concentrates on the more mundane aspects of managing the affairs of a town, such as pitching in at the local kindergarten and designing a town mascot. Early on in the series, one of Enjin's associates makes a brief appearance in the town and causes a bit of a stir, but, things quickly settle down again. In the latter episodes, events move at a slightly quicker pace, but, there isn't really a lot going on in the series. There is some action, but, in general, the pace is a bit slower than I would have liked.
Yozakura Quartet follows events in a somewhat sleepy town, in which demons happen to reside, in the midst of what is essentially a terrorist attack. It takes a while for events to build to the climactic showdown. A persistent theme in the series involves our heroes expressing a lot of angst and indecision in the midst of difficult circumstances. The series is more of a drama. So, if you're looking for non-stop demon-on-human action, you'll probably be disappointed. Surprisingly, there is very little bloodshed and no gore to speak of. There are, of course, no naughty bits. I gave Yozakura Quartet a 2 out of 5. Also, it should be noted that you will need to read your anime as Yozakura Quartet is subtitled only.
The main crisis of Yozakura Quartet is a conflict between the aforementioned quartet (which is actually a quintet) and the forces of Enjin, a demon that opposes the tenuous peace between humans and demons in Sakurashin.When demons walk the streets, the cops need to recruit more demons!
In a town where humans and demons co-exist, it takes more than a normal police force to maintain the peace. Enter the Hiizumi Life Counseling Office, a fantastic foursome of unique teenagers, each gifted with an amazing super power! Since it sometimes takes real demon-fire to fight demon fire, the first three quarters of the team aren't exactly human: Ao, a cat-eared telepath; Kotoha, a half-human conjurer; and Hime, descended from a dragon (and the town's acting mayor), all of whom also happen to be delightfully female.
Rounding out the group is the token male and human, Akina, the office director and "Oyakume," capable of banishing spirits permanently (and from their point of view quite fatally) via a process called tuning. They may not look as impressive as some other superhero teams, and they certainly don't have the most dynamic name ever, but come hell hounds or high water, but they will defend their city!
