by Neoshoco

Un problème de spectre ? Oubliez SOS Fantômes, appelez les Phantom Busters !
Afin de permettre à Kaoru de ne plus avoir d'esprits chez lui, les Phantom Busters ont dû vaincre une ancienne divinité maléfique qui hantait le sanctuaire voisin... Mais, hélas, le repos est de courte durée !

En effet, si le groupe ne trouve pas rapidement un professeur référent, il va être contraint de fusionner avec le club de recherches sur l'occulte. Une issue terrible pour les quatre garçons ! Alors qu'ils commencent à perdre espoir, un nouvel enseignant à l'allure détonnante fait son entrée dans l'établissement...

Spectres et autres esprits n'ont qu'à bien se tenir ! Entre deux cours, les Phantom Busters enchaînent actes de bravoure et gaffes d'amateurs... Occultisme, action et humour se bousculent dans ce titre totalement déjanté

NOT THE CLIFFHANGER RAHHH

[Antonio Heras · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitivamente, a partir del 2º tomo el manga toma forma, los personajes se asientan y el/la autor@ logran la dosis justa de aventura, comedia y momentos serios. Aunque al principio parezca que la serie va a ir de fantasmas y comedia chusca, en realidad "Phantom Busters" gira en torno al poder de la amistad, y a la fuerza que logran cuatro desadaptados cuando se juntan.

Nota: los 4 primeros tomos me los trajo un amigo de Japón. ¿Cómo consigo yo ahora el resto? :_)

(first fan translation reading on 4/9/25) i think with the end of this volume i’m finally coming up on new content????? i think maybe i read one or two more chapters with fan translations but then i’ll officially be into new content bc i haven’t kept up with unofficial translations since then. SO that’s exciting!!!!

this volume is yet another gut punch wrapped up in a warm blanket and i just always have the best time watching these idiots (affectionate) do literally anything. i do wonder (and worry) if actual Plot will start to kick in now that we’ve covered a lot of the emotional backstories of our crew…..but there’s still plenty to dive into with mogari and eugene so i have hope that even with increased plot stuff we’ll still focus on character, which is definitely the highlight of this series for me

Another fun and entertaining outing with Mogari and friends. The group must find a club adviser or risk losing their club status, as well as their Phantom Busters name. They later take Tamon on a surprise birthday party to a rock festival where we learn a little more about him. And of course, the plot thickens with the introduction of an enemy sorcerer who wants to control Mogari and his clan.

These guys are just so chill and happy all the time, and I can't be mad about it. Most adventures wrap up in a chapter, but the volume does end on a cliffhanger as we're left to find out what Mogari's fate will be. Probably the least interesting part about this series is the actual overarching plot, mainly because it plays so low on the storyline. Rather, it's just about fun high school students who happen to exorcise spirits and ghosts.

What a cliff hanger! This volume is moving along the plot of the clan but we also get lots of funny zany moments of these kids being kids and great friends. I love the art still. We get a few new characters and I LOVE their new club sponsor. I think my favorite story was when they helped at the restaurant and we got to see our chonky cat again. This was my favorite volume so far.

6/6 stars

[kal ! · Rating 5 out of 5]

wait stop that cliffhanger is wild

[Danielle · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series has been very fast paced so far and enjoyable.I think this is the first volume that the fast pace made it feel disjointed and rushed. There was so much that happened that didn't really feel connected as you read it until the very end. You also didn't get to sit with some of the more impactful moments between the friends, the reader is just immediately shoved into some new scene feeling like whiplash wondering if there were some pages missing. Overall, still like the cliffhanger at the end and look forward to read what comes next.

escolta, jo havia vingut aquí pels riures; què és això de tenir de sobte un plot tan seriós??

[Susanna · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lot happened in this volume. First the Phantom Busters club face eviction from their club room, because they don't have a teacher as a club advisor. After a frantic search, they score a temp teacher who is a former exorcist and really cool.

They boys are busy with exorcising too. They are asked to remove a poltergeist from a café and end up working a full shift there. They get paid though, and decide to treat Tamon with tickets to the last concert of his favourite band. He needs cheering up, because the ghost of his mother who's pretty much the only one he talks to decides to move on. But the concert doesn't go the way he expects.

The last story once again takes a dark turn. Rivals of Shishikuno clan make their move to become number one players in the supernatural world and they decide to go through Mogari. The ending is a cliffhanger. I definitely need to read more.

I received a free copy from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.

[Vee · Rating 4.75 out of 5]

I always say I’m more of an “action” mange reader— I want plot. I want danger. I want something to care about. And yet, with this series, I’m like okay forget the supernatural plot, stop adding conflict, I just want a SOL manga of these exorcist guys vibing together. When they went to the concert for Tamon’s birthday? PERFECT. That’s character growth, both for Tamon for overcoming his anxiety and for Kanzaki for thinking about it.

I dunno how I feel about the introduction of the new teacher. His character design is really cool, but his vibe is like he’s from a completely different story. Maybe that was the author’s intention? In that case, that’s fine. At least now they have a chaperone, and I have a cool adult character to love that does’t suck.

★★★★/5

Leer phantom busters definitivamente esta siendo una experiencia increible y que 100% vale la pena y este tomo fue supeer bueno sisisi

Me encanto como zaki tomo la iniciativa de gastar el dinero que ganaron trabajando medio tiempo para comprarse entradas al festival al que queria ir tamon por su cumple 🥹🩷 los mejores amigos y no me pueden hacer cambiar de opinión

MY BOY TAMON!!! que increible fue el capitulo 15 y el panel de él tocando con su banda favorita ??? pfff fue cine 🚬

pd: lean ese cap con 'inferno' de Mrs green apple y lo hace 1000 veces mejor, trust me

pero el final ??? DEVUELVANME A MOGARI, Q LE HICIERON A MI CUCHURRUMIN 😭

Note: 4,5/5

Je crois que je suis tombée amoureuse de cette saga. Je regrette de ne pas avoir acheté les tomes suivants vu ke cliffhanger que je viens juste de me taper. Franchement, j’ai qu’une envie: aller au magasin pour aller chercher la suite direct. Malheureusement je vais devoir attendre. On a encore eu une back story émouvante et je trouve de plus en plus que ce groupe de potes est attachant et adorable. Ils vont tellement bien ensemble, c’est dingue. Ils sont concon mais qu’est ce que je les aime. J’adorerais être pote avec.

[Helena · Rating 3 out of 5]

Honestly, I wanted this volume to feature Tamon a bit more than it did, but it was still a fun time! Clearly there is a larger story brewing, but I do wish the pacing would slow down a bit. It just ends up feeling pretty disjointed. I'm a big fan of Noir (as a concept) so I didn't mind so much, just a bit sad that we didn't delve into Tamon's backstory a bit more, because it seemed really interesting? Who knows. Yeah, I guess overall I wish that each arc got more time to settle into itself.

[Aergiaaaa · Rating 4 out of 5]

The teacher somehow weird and normal at the same time, like our four boys. Good combination, I guess (I hope)

Oh nooo, what do you mean there is handsome guy, our Eugene is supposedly and cannonly the handaome guy one! (But Zaki is my numero uno of course ofcourseee~)

Abe no seimei... Reading this part and this name, make me remember our other (un)competent teacher from another story wkwkwk but they to opposite to even be from the same line. So, yeah.

[Emily Grace · Rating 5 out of 5]

My favorite volume so far. Mr. Noir is so funny and cool. His design reminds me slightly of Noe from The Case Study of Vanitas.

Tamon's backstory is very intriguing. I want to know more about his mom and what happened to her.

That cliffhanger was cruel 😭 but it leaves me excited to read the next volume once it comes out in October.

Volume contains chapters 13-16.

[Yousseif Abdellatif · Rating 5 out of 5]

Look, Phantom Busters, Vol. 4 gets under your skin because Neoshoco refuses to make anyone fully good or fully bad. Everyone's a little right and a little rotten, and it's uncomfortable in a way that feels honest. The pacing is uneven, but the characters make up for it. Great for fans of messy people, skip it if you need a hero to root for.

[Nokhyun · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rien à redire pour l'ambiance du groupe, toujours aussi bonne. On dirait que ça commence à partir vers quelque chose d'intéressant pour l'histoire mais par contre... POURQUOI LES ONMYOUJIS SONT TJRS FKING HOT WHO IS THIS GUY ?!

[Yessie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Holy clif hanger! What is going to happen to Mogari?! Also the festival scene was pretty cool. Seeing Tamon get to play in his favorite band was pretty awesome. and his friends were there to help him be able to not throw up, even if they didn’t know it was actually him.

[Karen Keyte · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume serves as the transition between a mostly lighthearted story about high school phantom busters to a more serious struggle between the boys and some dangerous enemies. As always, it was incredibly well done and extremely entertaining. I can’t wait for Vol.5.
