Ushio to Tora
| Alt Names: |  うしおととら Ushio & Tora Ushio and Tiger Ushio and Tora Ushio ve Tora 潮与虎 |
| Author: | Fujita Kazuhiro |
| Artist: | Fujita Kazuhiro |
| Genres: |  Action Award Winning Drama Harem Martial Arts School Life Shounen Supernatural Tragedy |
| Type: | Manga (Japanese) |
| Status: | Complete |
| Description: | It centers around the travails and battles of one Ushio Aotsuki (蒼月潮 Aotsuki Ushio), who is constantly being stalked and aided by a gigantic, supernatural and sometimes invisible tiger (Some people describe it as akin to Calvin and Hobbes on acid). Ushio's family maintains a Shinto temple in Japan, where ~500 years ago, his samurai ancestor battled that same tiger to a standstill, and eventually trapped him against a rock using a blessed spear called the "Beast Spear", which in addition to its intrinsic formidability as a weapon, can also boost the physical powers of the user. While cleaning out the temple storage, Ushio accidentally unseals the chamber Tora was trapped in. Initially, Ushio wisely refuses to remove the spear pinning Tora (とら, Japanese for tiger) down, as Tora unwisely makes the strategic blunder of mentioning that the first thing he would do upon being freed would be to devour Ushio; but Tora's unsealed presence attracts various demons to the premises, and Ushio is forced to free Tora in exchange for his help. The series focuses on their relationship, interspersed with battles against mythological foes, and with Tora's attempts to grapple with modern life and gobble up Ushio. Won the Seiun Award for Best Comic of the Year in 1997. It also received the Shogakukan Manga Award for shounen in 1992. |

There's a 2nd anime season coming in a couple of months. I finally finished the first season a little while ago (I tend to get backlogged and busy, and then actually have time where I can start going through stuff). I think I might just skip the second season and finish the manga instead however, the manga does seem a bit better.
...
Anime follow manga up to ch 53 ... 85-106 also already covered ...
after that it become crappy ... *sigh* ...
anyone who want to start reading "good" story, start at ch 54 toward the end ...
all the good thing ... !! GIVE ME BLOOD, GIVE ME BLOOD, A LOT OF BLOOD !!!
also ...
can someone compile all this chapter in one DLL or torrent ?
couldn't wait for the rest of the episodes, just had to read this.. and couldn't stop. no wonder it's an award winning title. the tragedy tag somewhat reminded me of vampire juujikai though
I can't hold it in any longer. Time to re-read this beauty!!
Edit: Chapter 78 page 8 is priceless

OMG... It's STRAWHAT LUFFY!!!!!!!!
This was really good. It was happy, and sad, and funny, and full of action, and it was always moving at a great pace. There was never a point where it seemed to drag on.
If you like action and supernatural manga, this is a must read. I honestly don't know why I hadn't heard to this before. It was a great journey.
Surprisingly good. The description may sound like a turn off, and people may question the art, but definitely worth reading. Hell it's 33 volumes long, hard to go wrong with so much content.
Thanks.
