Asura Cryin'

Tomoharu Natsume is just another high school student, except he's never truly alone. A ghost from his childhood haunts him as he moves into a new house at the start of the school year. The quiet home becomes a magnet for trouble when a squad of female occult practitioners moves in, turning ordinary days into tense encounters. As mysteries pile up, he finds himself drawn into a brutal contest over a hidden trunk that sleeps somewhere in the residence. With danger and secrets closing in, Tomoharu must decide who to trust and how to protect those around him. Temptations and dangers mount as rival groups circle the house and the trunk's powers draw in old foes. Tomoharu's choices ripple through the web of friendships and shake the balance at the residence.

Asura Cryin' debuted in 2009 as an anime series created by Gakuto Mikumo. The production pairs brisk action with a sci fi fantasy vibe and features a notable voice cast including Miyu Irino and Haruka Tomatsu, bringing the ensemble to life.

There are no major awards documented for Asura Cryin'. The anime did not secure notable nominations in mainstream ceremonies, and its recognition has remained modest within its anime and light novel fan communities. Some fans cite its bold premise and character clashes as reasons it sticks with viewers, even without awards.

Critics and fans note the show for blending high school life with supernatural action and mystery. Core themes include identity, power dynamics, friendship, and the tension between technology and magic as the trunk holds a dangerous secret. The pacing shifts between quiet school days and bursts of spectacle, keeping the focus on character choices and loyalty.

Within its niche, Asura Cryin' has a small but dedicated fanbase and remains a solid example of late 2000s light novel adaptations. Fans share art and theories online, and the show is cited in discussions about combining school life with occult tech, action scenes, and ensemble dynamics.
