After raising some hell in a club the plan works and Akira is possessed by the powerful demon known as Amon.

The Genius Bakabon

Tensai Bakabon (Or, "The Genius Bakabon" ) is a gag manga starring, ironically, the titular character's father, only known as "Bakabon's Papa". The manga generally centers around episodic stories of Papa causing trouble around town due to his own and his son's complete and utter incompetence. This usually attracts the attention of the local trigger-happy policeman "Honkan", as well as causing issues for Bakabon's mother (Also just known as "Bakabon's Mama" ) and his younger, but extremely intelligent brother, Hajime. While the series is quite old, many of the jokes and stories are timeless in execution and hold up well today, which is largely why it's considered a classic series in Japan. There are 638 chapters collected in the digital release, but volumes 32-38 (The Reviwal Series) say not all chapters are collected, meaning some were skipped from the 1987-92 publication period. Volumes 28-31 collect the "Ganso Tensai Bakabon," which was just a title change for "TV magazine." 3 Bilingual comics were released by Kodansha in the early 2000s. --- - **Won the Bungeishunjū Manga Award in 1971**
