Will Sam help save Kami Academy?

Sam Oishi is a Japanese-German orphan boy who dreams of escaping the orphanage where he has been bullied. His chance to break free arrives when lightning tigers attack, catapulting him into the mystical world of Japanese mythology. He enrolls in Kami Academy to train as a gishi or demon slayer. As he begins to settle in, dark forces emerge, and it becomes up to Sam and his friends, Eiji and Oona, to save the academy. Will they succeed?

This captivating book immerses readers in the enchanting realm of Japanese mythology, filled with intriguing yokai and rich descriptions of traditional customs. The narrative flows with a style reminiscent of beloved anime, particularly appealing to fans of series like *Demon Slayer*.

The characters are wonderfully crafted: Sam stands out as a brave and spirited protagonist, radiating warmth and determination. Eiji exudes vibrant energy, bringing life to every scene, while Oona provides a calming presence, her laid-back demeanor balancing the group’s dynamics.

This book is a perfect gift for avid fans of *Demon Slayer* and anyone captivated by the allure of Japanese culture and folklore.
