Storyline

Spunky, athletic high school student Mano Yohko doesn't know it yet, but she's #107 in a long and venerable line of demon hunters! But after her school principal sics a monster on her in the swimming pool and she's nearly seduced by a possessed classmate, her grandmother decides it's time to bring her up in true "Mamono Hunter" style! And just in time, since it turns out that a monstrously powerful demon queen is preparing to smash her way from the next world into this one!

Trivia

This video was produced at the same time as a Mega-CD (the Japanese Sega-CD) game of the same name (and starring the same character) as a special way to promote the game. The character of Yohko had already existed for a couple of years as a PC game character, but the Mega-CD game was the only other game to ever feature her. The anime, on the other hand, became so popular that it spawned several direct-to-video sequels.

Goofs

During the scene with the clock tower (just after Yohko learns she's a Devil Hunter), the number of numerals on the clock's face shifts between 12 (I-XII) and 13 (I-XIII) between shots.
