I'm really enjoying the anime version of Yūsei Matsui's manga series Majin Tantei Nōgami Neuro. It's gory, and violent, and the artwork is totally creepy, and it only makes sense about every third episode, but I'm watching it raptly nonetheless.



Majin Tantei Nōgami Neuro is a mystery/horror series about a demon (Neuro) who feeds on mysteries. Having devoured all of the tasty mysteries in his own realm, Neuro goes to the human world to look for more. He sets up a detective agency and forces a human girl to pretend to be his boss. (He serves as her "assistant". I still don't understand why Neuro thinks the teenage girl is necessary--seeing as he can disguise himself as a human just fine--but I'm assuming that will be explained in future episodes.)

The manga version of Majin Tantei Nōgami Neuro isn't licensed, but readers with strong stomachs for gore and a high tolerance for confusion can find it via IRC. The anime version is available through CrunchyRoll and YouTube.
