''Karura Mau!'' (''Karura Dance!'') is an occult/horror manga series from TheEighties, penned and drawn by Kiichi Nagakubo. One of the main titles in its genre back at its day, it is also a notably long franchise, having started its publishing in 1986 and still running in the form of spinoffs and sequels.

However, they share the common fate of being the current heir of the Ohgi family, a clan of UsefulNotes/{{Onmyodo}} exorcists that has protected Japan since generations. Secretly backed by the Japanese government and helped by a descendant of UsefulNotes/AbeNoSeimei, among other weird and varied allies, the sisters combine the powers conceded by their guardian deity Karura to banish evil.
