''[[Kekkaishi]]'' is an anime and manga series centering around 14-year-old Yoshimori Sumimura and his 16-year-old neighbor/childhood friend/"partner" Tokine Yukimura. During the day, they are just [[Ordinary High School Student|ordinary]] (if slightly sleep-deprived) high school students, while at night they defend their homes and school grounds from monsters [[Our Monsters Are Different|(Ayakashi)]] by conjuring [[Functional Magic|multi-use barriers (Kekkai)]]. They're eventually joined by the half-ayakashi [[Power Trio|Gen Shishio]], and much later by Souji Hiura, a rather odd young man in his own right.

 

In America, the anime premiered in May 2010 on [[Adult Swim]] (with English dubbing) and on [[Hulu]] in early 2011 (in Japanese with English subtitles). The manga concluded in 2011. Yoshimori, Tokine and friends appear in the [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] game, [[Sunday VS Magazine Shuuketsu Choujou Daikessen]].

 

* [[Action Mom]]: Yoshimori's mother, Sumiko.

* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Yoshimori has one memorable moment in the manga. Luckily for him, he isn't caught. ''Un''luckily for him, he's entirely aware of how bad his blunder is and gives himself no end of grief over it.

* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Kagemiya Sen.

** Also Lord Tan'Yuu in the shrine where Masamori kills Mudou.

** Tokiko shows it runs in the family.

* [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: Yoshimori pulls this off often, such as unleashing a {{spoiler|MASSIVE Zekkai to kill Kaguro}}, and also {{spoiler|unlocking the ultimate [[Super Mode|Musou State]] to save Karasumori from Yumeji's minions}}. Deconstructed when he tried to invoke this deliberately when the school was being swarmed by ayakashi butterflies. His solution was to create a massive kekkai and try to Metsu and destroy only the butterflies and nothing else. When Tokiko correctly [[What the Hell, Hero?|points out]] that he has no idea how to do this, he out right says [[Heroic Second Wind|"You don't know what you can do until you try"]]. Tokiko had to [[Sadistic Choice|create a clone of Tokine and challenge him to destroy the fake and not the real one, with the same kekkai]], to get him to come to his senses.

* [[Funny Background Event]]

* [[Genre Savvy]]: The first MIB who attacks Karasumori. When fighting a [[Determinator]] who relies on [[Heroic Second Wind]], kill him ''quickly.''

* [[Gods Need Prayer Badly]]: Ayakashi who avoid humans for too long fade away.

* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: Tokimori just wanted to gift {{spoiler|his unborn son, Lord of Karasumori}} with powers. He succeeded.
