Akihime is a seemingly normal girl attending junior high school, but she
is actually the daughter of Ryokuhouzan's tengu. She lives with her
mother in the human world, living a normal human life. However, her
childhood friend Shun is constantly trying to convince her to go to the
mountains with him, so that they can become tengus together. Despite his
continuous urgings, Akihime refuses because she has feelings for her
classmate, Takeru-kun.
Machi de Uwasa no Tengu no Ko won the 2009 Shogakukan Manga Award for best shoujo.
