Sōbōtei Kowasubeshi (双亡亭壊すべし, "Sōbōtei Must Be Destroyed") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kazuhiro Fujita. It was serialized in Shogakukan's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Sunday from March 2016 to July 2021, with its chapters collected in 25 tankōbon volumes.

Plot

Rokurō Tachiki, a young boy moves with his father to the Sōbōtei mansion, a mysterious place stood in Tokyo's Numanakarai district since the Taishō era and it is said to be haunted. There he meets Tsutomu Takoha, a poor picture book author who lives in a cheap apartment next to the mansion. One day, Rokurō's father gets consumed by an enigmatic being from a portrait inside the mansion, and after an explosion of unexplained origin, Rokurō is transferred to a hospital. The Self-Defense Force evacuated the Numanakari district in a failed attempt to destroy the Sōbōtei mansion. Horrified and after realizing what happened, Rokurō vows to destroy the Sōbōtei mansion.

Characters

Tsutomu Takoha (凧葉 務, Takoha Tsutomu)
An art-school graduate and aspiring picture-book author, he lives in a run-down apartment building next to Sōbōtei. He meets his new neighbour, Rokurō, and gets embroiled in the evil mansion's plans.
Rokurō Tachiki (立木 緑朗, Tachiki Rokurō)
He and his father come to live in a small house on the edge of the Sōbōtei estate, and are caught up in the evil within the mansion. He becomes good friends with Seiichi, both aiming to destroy Sōbōtei.
Kurenai Tsuge (柘植 紅, Tsuge Kurenai)
A skilled "katana shaman" shrine maiden from a renowned lineage of practitioners on her mother's side; after her parents' divorce, she and her mother go to live and train with her grandmother, separating her from her beloved younger brother, Rokurō. She returns to protect him from the evil of Sōbōtei. Although she is famed for her skills, she can be naive and confused by certain societal norms. She is given a place to stay by Takoha, and joins the team of supernatural specialists who enter Sōbōtei.
Seiichi Takoha (凧葉 青一, Takoha Seiichi)
A mysterious youth with strange powers, including the transformation of his body into drills and a resilient, swiftly-healing body; he appears in the wreckage of a plane missing for 45 years. His father and Takoha's grandfather were brothers; once he is identified by his nametag the government bring Takoha in to meet him.
Yadorigi (宿木)
This sharp-eyed, uncompromising woman serves in the military branch of the Special Disasters Prevention and Response Department, and is a commander of troops when the supernatural specialists enter Sōbōtei. She seems cold and unreasonable, but is brave and concerned for the welfare of the others.
Travis Augusto (トラヴィス・アウグスト, Toravisu Augusuto)
An American scientist researching paranormal phenomena, with a focus on the relationship between magnetic fields and the spiritual world. He invented and is equipped with a portable electromagnetic emissions system ("reversers") which generate massive destructive electrical discharges. He is the head of a team from the American Supernatural Research Foundation, including his underlings Max, Kirk, and Graham, and his daughter, Nancy, as well as his ward Flor. He has a gruff and condescending manner, but acts in defence of others.
Flor Holopainen (フロル・ホロパイネン, Furoru Horopainen)
Augusto's legally-adopted daughter, from a poor, abusive background in Helsinki, who participates in his experiments on her psychic powers, the most powerful being her ability to apport objects within a certain range directly to her. She is also telepathic. Use of these powers can greatly weaken her physically. She is vital to the supernatural specialists' efforts to defeat Sōbōtei, coordinating strategies telepathically with Seiichi and others.
The Maags (マーグ, Māgu)
A rich couple who perform exorcisms; Barrett Maag (バレット・マーグ, Baretto Māgu), a retired businessman, conveys his wife Josephine (ジョセフィーン, Josefīn) in her wheelchair. She possesses pyrokinetic abilities, focused through a charred doll, "Mary", as well as certain extrasensory powers.
The Kirita sisters (鬼離田三姉妹, Kirita Sanshimai)
Three virtually-identical elegant sisters dressed in traditional Japanese clothing and sunglasses, Kikuyo (菊代), Yukiyo (雪代) and Kotoyo (琴代) have a disconcerting, flamboyant manner and are prone to outbursts of inappropriate laughter. They use incantations to summon spirits to act on their behalf, and are considered by Kurenai to be unmatched as diviners due to their extrasensory perceptive abilities, which include remote viewing. They can transfer their pupils to one sister (in practice, the eldest, Kikuyo), giving her greatly increased powers of foresight and ability to identify weaknesses in an opponent. They were harshly treated as children by their teacher and her assistants, kept caged, fed rotten canned food, and beaten when they made mistakes in their training, which resulted in their laughter as a defence mechanism.
Deido Sakamaki (坂巻 泥努, Sakamaki Deido)
A rich artist who built Sōbōtei, which was completed in 1935. Takoha once possessed a copy of his book "Curious Art- My Abode", which gave him insight into Sōbōtei.
Atsushi Shiba (斯波 敦, Shiba Atsushi)
The current prime minister of Japan. He and his best friend, Kiryuu (now Minister of Defence) entered Sōbōtei as boys with their friend Nanako, who fell victim to the mansion's evil. Since then, they have been dedicated to destroying Sōbōtei at all costs, and are the driving force behind the supernatural specialists' efforts.
