" The manga was released in North America by ADV Manga in 2004.
Story
Kantarou Ichinomiya is a young man with the ability to see goblins and other mythical beasts. He's made a full-time hobby out of it, writing books and articles on Japanese folklore while doing some freelance goblin hunting on the side. Rather than hunting them out of malice, though, Kantarou tracks down goblins because he wants to befriend them. When an assignment leads him to a rural shrine up in a mountain, Kantarou's life takes a momentous turn . The legendary demon-eating goblin is sealed in that shrine, and when Kantaro breaks the seal, he finds himself partnered up with the mighty creature he's been seeking since childhood. With his new, impeccably dressed goblin friend Haruka, Kantarou is surely prepared to take on all sorts of mystical tasks.
As Haruka's past slowly comes back to him, his relationship with his master starts to crack. Haruka struggles with his past and yearns to learn of everything he had forgotten, especially the identity of the person who had sealed him within the huge rock boulders. This is the point where Minamoto Raiko and his group of soldiers come in. Together with another formidable demon, Raiko and his attendants plot many plans to try and force Kantarou to cancel the name contract or make Haruka awaken his real powers, such that they would be able to capture Haruka and present him to "that person" whose identity is unknown. If the name contract is not cancelled or if the master dies, Haruka's power would forever be restrained and he would not be able to be used by the antagonists.

Translation
Not unlike ADV Manga's licensed English releases of Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok, only two volumes of Tactics have been produced by the company. These volumes were produced on a seemingly erractic schedule, with the first volume released on October 26, 2004, and the second volume released on May 24, 2005. The release of newer volumes has been put into much speculation, as ADV Manga currently does not have the manga listed on their official website. However, there are rumors of the delay being mostly due to a large layoff period in the company's history.
Many people were confused when ADV Manga changed Sugino's gender to a 'she' and Muu-chan's gender to a 'he'. Some people felt that it was wrong to change Sugino's gender, because it affects how the relationships between Sugino and other people, and Muu-chan to other people look like.
