Thank god they continued this series! The first Ghost Hunt series was absolutely amazing and this first volume of the sequel has already exceeded my excpectations! I was afraid this sequel wouldn't be as good as the original series, however my fears were completely unfounded. This is just as brilliant! I freaking love all the characters and the bond they have with each other and I can't wait to see how they continue to develope as the story goes on. Hopefully we'll also get some answers to the things that were left unresolved in the original series. Like, what really is up with Eugene? Why can't he die peacefully? Is there something that's holding him back, if so what? Also, why was his connection to the spiritual world Mai of all people, and not his brother? And what about Mai herself? Will we continue to see her develope her power and becoming even more confident in herself? Will there be anything more between her and Naru than just friendship? Not that the friendship isn't enough, quite the opposite actually, I really like how Ono and the mangaka (can't remember her name) have developed the friendship between Mai and Naru. It truly feels like they have this deep, meaningful connection that isn't based on physical attraction, but rather a connection of the mind, of who they are as people, despite having so starkly different personalities. So, basically, if nothing romantic develops between them, I would be okay with it, because their friendship is already so precious and dear and beautiful. However, it would be soooo incredibly cute and adorable if they did fall for each other! It would make my little fangirl heart flutter. OH, I also, surprisingly enough really enjoy the third-person point-of-view in this sequel. I had read that there was going to be a change from the first-person point-of-view (from Mai's perspective) in the original series to a third-person point-of-view in the sequel. I really, really enjoyed Mai's voice and perspective in the original series, so I was afraid that the new point-of-view would completely mess up the story.I was a bit wary of this and worried that I wouldn't enjoy the story as much, but I was completely and utterly wrong. The third-person point-of-view fits SO well to the direction Ono and Inada are taking the story. It really adds to the mystery of it all and the horror elements (which is basically what the whole story consists of) are emphasized to a much greater degree and makes the story sooo much more fascinating to read. With the third-person POV we are allowed, to a much greater degree, to take the place of the outsider who looks in to this investigative team and it makes it easier to relate to that new character, that annoying dude that arrives in the beginning of this sequel. Other than that, I would also really, really like to get the backstories on Monk-San, Ayako, Masako and John. I absolutely love all of them (Yasuhara as well), and it would be so fascinating to see how they came to be the people they are now.

All in all, this was a brilliant sequel series to an already brilliant series. I can't wait to see how Ono and Shiho continue to develop the story and the characters!

This review is about the whole series

Ok so this is the sequel. I read the main series two years ago (I guess?) And last night I found first two chapters of this vol on my computer.
I feel so blessed after reading these three vols. I do miss Naru, Gene, Mai and everyone... but the ending was nice.
Thank you Ono Fuyumi. I love your characters and their world. Thank you.

Really nice seeing all the main characters again, but wow this was creepy. I was reluctant to turn out the lights last night after reading this.

4.7
The effort and details in this manga is just amazing definitely one of the top 5 horror manga/anime

[Lilly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hirota is annoying and I prefer the art style in Ghost Hunt, but I get Mai and Naru back so I don’t want to complain too much.

This was definitely a lot scarier than the first novel series! Loved how they did not hold back with the fear and gore factor in this one (especially that one panel when Kosori first appeared). Excited to see how the story unfolds!

Uweeeeeeeeh!!!! Asiiiiik banget nih bukuuuuuuu!!! *gelundungan bahagia*

Gara-gara udah lamaaaaaa banget terakhir baca dan nonton Ghost Hunt, saya jadi khawatir sensasinya bakal berubah. Dan ternyata saya gak dikecewakan!!! Masi sereeeeeeem ahahahahaahha *malah ketawa*

Selain sensasi serem dan penasarannya masih oke, komik ini berhasil bikin saya nostalgia dengan seri Ghost Hunt orisinalnya <3 Beneran deh, saya kangen banget adegan adu mulut Naru dan Mai <3
Meski saya gak hafal nama-nama tokohnya, sembari baca buku ini ingatan saya yang dulu mulai kembali sedikit demi sedikit. Asik banget deh! Aaaaaah~~~ kangeeeeeeeen~~~ xDD

Saya perlu nomor 2-nya segeraaaaaaaaaaa!!!! *tagih si temen* *ini pinjeman soalnya ehehe*

Btw, selesai ber-fangirling-an, sekarang ke yang serius.

Cover: Saya bener-bener GAK SUKA LOGO JUDULNYA.
Wuapaaaa!??? Desainernya pake font yang tipenya bulet-bulet!! Berani-beraninya diaaa -____-
Ditambah warna logo hurufnya yang ke-pink-an (mungkin dimaksudkan supaya merah darah, saya gak ngerti) yang justru di mata saya memberikan sensasi imut-imut :p
Lebih daripada itu semua... ceplak tangan di huruf "O"-nya itu dooooong!!! Gak nahaaaaaaan~~~!!! Ahahahahahaha!!!
Kesemuanya itu alih-alih menimbulkan kesan horor dan menegangkan, malah berbalik bikin saya berpikiran: Nih desainer lebay banget deh, bikin aye ilfil aja :v *iya, pake emot pacman*
Desainernya keliatan berusaha terlalu keras untuk menampakkan efek "horor"-nya dan sayangnya, masih kurang mumpuni, yang malah bikin berkesan lebay.
Atau mungkin sebaliknya, desainernya cuma ngambil jalan simpel dengan memilih font simpel yang hanya ditambah ceplak tangan yang juga simpel.

Terjemahan dan editan: Saya kenal penerjemahnya (well, bukan "kenal" dalam arti harfiah sih, maksudnya saya tau nama penerjemahnya dan pernah megang terjemahan dia selama masih jadi editor). Terjemahannya enak dibaca dan halus. Gak ada masalah.
Editan... di beberapa tempat emang masih ada teks-teks jepang yang lupa di-retouch. Tapi itu miss yang minor dan gak terlalu mengganggu. Good job buat penerjemah dan editornya!

Percayakah kamu pada rumah berhantu? Bisa ya, bisa juga tidak. Dalam manga ini, coba dijelaskan fenomena rumah berhantu secara ilmiah. Pada dasarnya, berbagai kejadian yang biasanya dituduhkan dipicu oleh makhluk dunia lain (setan, hantu, dan lainnya), bisa dijelaskan dengan fisika atau kimia. Tapi berbeda di rumah yang kemudian menjadi obyek penelitian dari Shibuya Psychic Research ini. Sebuah rumah kecil yang mengandung misteri, karena ketika bisa diungkap rahasianya menggunakan teknik investigasi ilmiah, ternyata sungguh-sungguh ada arwah bergentayangan di dalamnya!

Akhirnya ada Ghosthunt lagi ^^. Dulu koleksi manga-nya pas pertama kali terbit. Ceritanya masih seperti biasa ya. Penyelidikan tentang fenomena supernatural dengan cara yang tidak "supernatural" :)).

Sayang kali ini anggotanya belum lengkap. Masih kurang yang cewek miiko sama si pendeta. Semoga mereka ada di nomor selanjutnya ^^.

Dan semoga nomor selanjutnya cepat terbit. Endingnya bikin penasaran nih.

Adalah membingungkan jika sedari awal sudah disebutkan bahwa misteri-misteri penampakan gaib di sebuah rumah yang dialami oleh seorang ibu dan putri tunggalnya disebabkan oleh perbuatan tetangga rumah sebelahnya. Kalau begitu, buat apa diceritakan lebih lanjut, ya kan? Ternyata kemudian ditawarkan plot twist, yaitu ketika biang keroknya terungkap, misteri-misteri penampakan dan teror itu masih belum berakhir! Jadi sebetulnya ini perbuatan manusia atau bukan?

2.5★彡 There are some truly horrific horror elements here, but the mystery and suspense were drawn out way past the critical parts. It felt like the best parts were in the middle and by the time the ending rolled around, my enthusiasm had dwindled down to almost nothing. (nb: i read the novelization, not the manga).

[Debby · Rating 5 out of 5]

permulaan dari sebuah seri baru yang baguss. bener2 tidak bisa berhenti baca nya, hororr dan penelitian nya makin seru, dan mencekam. nih buku termasuk yang harus dibaca pelan pelan sih, tapi sangat2 seru.

mana buku 2 nya mana buku dua nyaaa lol....
