Hengen Taima Yakou
Karura Mau!
For centuries the Ougi family has been fighting against the forces of evil under the auspices of their patron deity Karura (the Japanese Buddhist derivation of the Hindu Garuda). But when twins are born in the 38th generation, the hereditary powers are divided between them. Shouko has the spiritual abilities of the "Scroll of Heaven" and Maiko the physical powers of the "Scroll of Earth." Their personalities are just as different, but by joining together they can face any evil.
(Braver hearts than mine have despaired of translating the title into English. Literally, it would come out as something like "Transformation Repel Evil Night Travel Karura Dances!" However, just as an example, "mau" should probably be rendered as something more like "comes forth," judging by its use within the story. In the end, most prefer just to leave it untranslated. If nothing else, it’s much shorter!)
Nagakubo’s masterpiece, Karura Mau!(カルラ舞う) was also animated as a movie and a video series. Interrupted by the untimely demise of the monthly magazine Halloween (ハロウィン), it reappeared as Shin Karura Mau! (新・ カルラ舞う) in Susperia (サスペリア) and Susperia Mystery (サスペリアミステリー). A new Shin Karura Mau! (真・ カルラ舞う！) has now also begun release, serialized in Mystery Bonita (ミステリーボニータ).
There are a number of short stories included in the Karura Mau! volumes, usually filling out the final volume of each story arc. The stories featuring Karura Mau! characters are included here; the unrelated stories are listed in Other Works.

The Halloween releases include a number of side stories. (I currently have no information on which of these may appear in the wide-ban or bunko editions, or what volumes might contain them.):
- V.3 includes Kaidan Furuya no Mori (怪談古屋の守), a side story about Oumi Ikeda, a major character of the Nara Onryou Emaki.
- V.12 is made up entirely of short side stories. Akuro-Ou no Kubi (悪路王の首), Youtou Daitsuuren (妖刀大通連), and Toono Mugenkou (遠野夢幻行) all feature Fuyuki Ogura of the Sendai Kokeshi Onka. Oumi Ikeda appears again in the last story, Yami no Genjutsu Hikae (闇の幻術控), along with Kenmochi, another exorcist who appears regularly in the main series.
- The main portion of v.17 is a long side story about Oumi’s brother Hiromi, who also first appeared in the Nara Onryou Emaki. This is followed by a short prequel story featuring the twins as children, Kyoushu Zen’ya Tanka (教主前夜譚歌).
- V.18 includes the Oumi & Kenmochi side story Karura Gaiden Yami no Genjutsu Hikae: Kuroi Tani (迦楼羅外伝 闇の幻術控 黒い谷).
The Nara Onryou Emaki was also released by Asahi Sonorama as an audio cassette and a novel [text by Kei Rikudou (六道慧)]. A promotional animated movie based on this section of the story had a theatrical release in Tokyo before being released on video. The Sendai Kokeshi Onka was similarly adapted into a six-part animated video series.
The original Karura Mau! comic series was translated into Chinese by Tongli (東立) under the title Tui Ling zhi Wu!* (退靈之舞！).

V.3 is technically all Oumi & Kenmochi side stories of the Yami no Genjutsu Hikae (闇の幻術控) series: Ise no Magagami (伊勢の禍神), Kai no Ishigami (甲斐の石神), Abe no Seimei no Matsuei Zenpen (安倍晴明の末裔 前編), and Abe no Seimei no Matsuei Kouhen (安倍晴明の末裔 後編). But the Ougi girls do appear rather prominently in Kai no Ishigami, while even Oumi has no part in Abe no Seimei no Matsuei, a prequel story from Kenmochi’s childhood.
V.6 contains the side story Bangai Hen: Haha Youkai (番外編 母妖怪), as well as a short comic review of the original Karura Mau! series, Shuku Honpen Rensai Saikai Kyouran Emaki (祝 本編連載再開狂乱絵巻).
V.7 also includes Suneori Ryuujin Matsuri (脚折竜神祭り).
This Shin Karura Mau! series was translated into Chinese by Daran (大然) as Fei Tian Xiang Wu (飛天翔舞).
