Goodreads Synopsis:
From the sands of
Ancient Egypt to the streets of modern Japan, the newly resurrected
Great Priest Imhotep traverses time and space on the hunt for the magai,
devious beings with an appetite for destruction who impersonate the
gods! When schoolgirl Hinome crosses paths with this illustrious
ancient, is her loner lifestyle about to change for the better...or for
the worse?!
Review:
Imhotep is brought back to life to purge the magai from the world. He finds himself in Japan, and when he discovers that Hinome has a magai haunting her, he decides to stick around. Hinome hasn't been able to talk for a long time, and her father is a big fan of Egyptian history, so he's very excited to let Imhotep stay at their supposedly haunted house.
Hinome and Im form an odd back-and-forth, in which Hinome basically feels she's stuck with him and Im keeps showing up and interrupting her life. But he also helps push her to better herself, including finally making a friend at school.
This was a rather fun first volume. Hinome is the main character, but it still feels like a shonen series. We meet a potential enemy as the volume ends, but most of this had short magai plots. It was fun to read, though.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, Yen Press, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
