Yo-kai Watch (manga)

Two manga adaptations of Yokai Watch have been produced; a shōnen manga series that began serialization in Shogakukan's CoroCoro Comic from 2012, and a shōjo manga series that began serialization in Shogakukan's Ciao magazine from December 27, 2013. Anime News Network reports that this will be a shoujo manga featuring Fumi-chan as the main character. The manga will be drawn by Chikako Mori, and like the game, will tell the story of someone that is able to see Japanese ghosts after acquiring a special watch. The Youkai Watch manga was debuted in the issue of Ciao that  published earlier in January. The game allows one to play as either a male or female character, so it’s interesting that Level 5 are choosing to go with a female lead for the manga series. While the anime is seemingly completed so far this year, a second game in the series is in development currently.
