[[Shanghai Youma Kikai]] was a humourous, short-lived manga series (only four chapters long as-of-yet) published in 2000 by [[Hiromu Arakawa]]. It's about a group of demon-hunters in in Shanghai, year 2050, struggling financially (only because they can't manage to do a job without destroying half the city.)
A young boy, supposedly a prodigy on the subject, begs to join the team. Initially, he is turned down. However, that doesn't stop him from tagging along. He soon learns exactly why they rejected him.
