Youkai Hunter - Yami no Kyakujin
Author(s): Morohoshi Daijirou (Story), Inoue Junya (Artist)
Genre: Horror, Seinen, Supernatural
Status: Completed (1 Volume) - No scanlations
Description:
Hieda-sensei is a professor of archeology, with a fervent belief in the existence and power of supernatural creatures such as gods and demons. Since he can't prove anything, his belief has earned him the mocking nickname Youkai Hunter from his colleagues. One day, two men from Ootori-chou come to visit him. They're planning to promote tourism by reviving their town's old, traditional Demon Festival, which was discontinued a century ago. They're basing the festival on Hieda's research, although they're changing a few details to make it flashier for modern sightseers. Although Hieda is troubled by the history of human death associated with the festival, he agrees to attend as an advisor. When the Demon Festival turns out to be much more historically accurate than anyone ever dreamed, it will take all of Hieda's knowledge and courage to help set things right! The 1974 classic Youkai Hunter is now updated with a new artist's fresh take on the story!

I saw some caps and wow, the updated art style is really great - it is the same mangaka of Btooom! (granted am not a fan of Btooom but I still like this mangaka's art style). If you’re into classic horror manga or folklore-based stories, this is one to keep an eye on.
