Ep. 33 - Daemons of the Shadow Realm vol. 1, by Hiromu Arakawa
Description
For fans of manga, Hiromu Arakawa needs no introduction. She's responsible for the mega-ultra-successful and popular Full Metal Alchemist, as well as the acclaimed Silver Spoon, among other works.

We've got gunfights, fish-out-of-water hijinks, and possibly a Japanese folklore-based take on Pokemon? It doesn't quite all hang together, but it's clearly the work of a master chef combining tastefully luxurious elements together in a creative way, so we'll just have to trust her that it'll come together someday. Remember, even FMA fans will tell you that it took a few volumes to really find its footing...
