Hahaha a kid flipping out at the sight of manga, that's so damn cute.
In the akuma/oni/yokai/folk creatures vein, I'd go for Natsume Yuujincho (Natsume's book of friends, or something like that). It's not action-packed, but it's a nice series. The titular character can see spirits and demons and inherited the "Book of friends" from her grandma who shared that gift. She had the names of a bunch of creatures written down to manipulate them, so he goes around giving the spirits their names back and avoiding the ones that want to steal the book from him.
If you're looking something more shonen-ish, Nurarihyon no Mago is also good, though I dropped the manga a few months ago. I don't know how the anime's like, but the first part of the manga was really entertaining. The main character's a quarter yokai but tries reeealy hard to be extra nice and not evil at all. His grandpa is the leader of an important... let's say yokai gang, and totally expects him to inherit the position. As far as I got, the series is about him trying to embrace his badassitude for the greater good of protecting both yokai and humans. And he can, indeed, be quite badass.
Hope it helps you! I'm also totally not obsessed with yokai (nope, not me .__. ), but I wouldn't mind some recs ;)

OMG, thank you so much! I really appreciate the recs. :)

I have to admit I don't know what a lot of the terminology means; I've never actually read any manga myself although I've watched a fair amount of anime.

What does yokai mean? :)

Japanese spirits' world is one big ball of wtfuckery and strange hierarchies and subdivisions that get eerily specific as you delve deeper (umbrella spirits, anyone? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasa-obake). The term yokai, as far as I've seen, is usually translated as demon, but so are the terms oni, akuma, and so on. Sometimes I've seen it alternated with "monster" as a translation in fansubs/scanlations, but then what word would they use for mononoke (and don't get me started on this one)? And the evil connotation depends on whether the author wants to play it up or write it off as a mischievous nature. Ultimately they're forces of nature, and as such they can fuck you up, or not. Sort of. You can expect anything in between curiosity and downright resentment, but you basically don't want to get on their bad side.
Anyway, I recommended these series because of Inuyasha (him being half-yokai).
These are their wikipedia articles, btw: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natsume_Yuujinchou
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurarihyon_no_Mago
And the definition for yokai: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yokai

... I... I wrote a wall of text. I promised myself I wouldn't. Sory m(_ _)m

Wall of text is all of the yay. :)

Emma loves Inuyasha being a demon. We've had convos about what is going to happen in these last two episodes (no spoilers please!), and she would vastly prefer him to remain a demon than turn human.

I've come to realise I'm the derpiest derp that has ever derped. Spirits and stuff for children? Hayao Miyazaki all the way! His films are so beautiful, though the environmentalism can get quite obnoxious at times. Has she watched Spirited Away? My Neighbour Totoro? Ponyo on the Cliff? Howl's Moving Castle? Almost everything by this man deals with spirits and/or fantasy (Kiki's Delivery Service deals with a witch and her familiar, not spirits, but it's cute too). I wouldn't recommend stuff like Princess Mononoke or Nausicaä yet, but they're definitely good ones a few years from now. Porco Rosso is kind of in the middle.

Somebody just gave her Kiki's Delivery Service and we haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Cool!
