Alichino is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kouyu Shurei, originally published by Home-sha Inc. and Shueisha. It was translated and distributed by Tokyopop in North America and the United Kingdom; the Tokyopop version of the manga is out of print.
Alichino are beautiful demons that offer wishes to those who are desperate to receive them. However, the price is one’s soul. To keep the balance ‘kusabi’ are born in order to kill Alichino and save humanity. But if the kusabi kills the alichino, then no wishes will be granted. The question is: does humanity want to be saved?
Alichino is also the name of a demon in Dante Alighieri's Inferno, a guardian of Malebolge. The name derives from Arlecchino, the harlequin.
