Ghost Hunt, Volume 1
PARTNERS IN FEAR
The decrepit building was condemned long ago, but every time the owners try to tear it down, “accidents” start to happen–people get hurt, sometimes even killed. Mai Taniyama and her classmates have heard the rumors that the creepy old high school is haunted–possibly by ghosts from the Second World War.

I picked this one up as a browse title after having been somewhat burned on manga. I'd fallen too often for beautiful looking manga that promised a lot, only to deliver very little. I'm very glad that this was the title I picked up.
The premise isn't that new, a cute young girl falls in with a troupe of ghost hunters, one of which is someone that she immediately clashes with (yet is also subconciously attracted to). However the manga stands out from the usual fare with it's truly ind...more

Mai Taniyama is a regular high school girl who loves ghost stories. One day after school as she and her friends are telling ghost stories, they are scared by a cute new transfer student who says his name is Kazuya Shibuya, and he offers to meet them the next day after school to exchange more ghost stories, in particular any about the old haunted school building that is across the street from their school. The next day as Mai is walking to school she decides to investigate the building herself, l...more
Based on a set of light novels by Fuyumi Ono, which was also adapted into an entertaining but not exceptional anime. The anime is fairly predictable and not actually very scary, but the character interactions are amusing enough that I watched the entire thing. The manga has most of the same flaws, but the strengths are watered down; in particular, the supporting cast lacks some of the warmth it has in the anime version because it can't draw upon the talent of the voice actors. Anyway, I'd recomm...more
This is a little known series that needs more love. The final volume was finally released in Japan a short time ago, and wraps up most of the loose ends nicely, though since I was hoping for a bit more romantic of an ending, it left me wanting more...
This manga is based on a series of light novels, which I hope are translated sometime soon...
The anime doesnt touch upon the last two volumes of this series, but it was a very good horror anime. I was genuinely scared watchin...more

Adapted from the Evil Spirits series by Fuyumi Ono Ghost Hunt is an enjoyable delightful read with enough spook factor to keep me in suspense without keeping me up at night with nightmares.

One of the few animes I got very much hooked that I watch the entire series non-stop. I love it, all the episodes are thrilling and horrifying and I still remember that one time when I can't really fall asleep because the image of the bath tub with lots of blood on it lingers on the back of my head.
Creepy and deliciously scary. I think I might have broken Cecy's arm while watching the tv adaptation, because I was squeezing it so tightly. But very cute (?) and good.

ghost hunt has the be one of the most realisic book that darive from manga i have read most of the serise but i like the 4th on the most
I thought this was a neat approach to ghost hunting. The president uses a lot of equipment and logical deduction to solve the mysteries.
Very very good. And scary. I loved this whole series. Now she just needs to finish. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS, DARN IT!!!
Unlikeable characters and a dull story line. I won't be bothering with the next volume.
Ghost Hunt is one of 'the most intriguing' manga series one will have ever read. Damn scary too! Makes all of the urban fantasy and dark paranormal pale.
The storyline is written by the awesome creator of the 12 Kingdom series, Fuyumi Ono. If you get your hands on anything written by this author, you're in for the ride of your life!
This first volume introduces us to the cast of characters. The setting also first takes place at Mai Taniyama's high school. You get hooked...more

Maybe it's just me, but I can't read these at night...Did you hear that?
As far as art goes, only so-so. It's nice for Haloween time, though.
Ah, Ghost Hunt, the X-Files of the manga world. ;)
I love this series, it is by far my favourite
this book was awesome
Good read!
[Series Length: 10+ volumes / Read: volumes 1-9]
Brief thoughts: A horror title that starts off a little slow but the writing picks up nicely by volumes 4-5 and then really impresses with volumes 6-9, largely due to the efforts of Fuyumi Ono, creator of the highly-acclaimed Juni Kokuki (Twelve Kingdoms) series.

Whoa, talk about a wackish manga!
Okay, I admit that I really liked it... What can I say? A bunch of paranormal investigators running around stalking ghosts and patrolling haunted houses? Throw in some phony psychics and a possessed stuffed animal and you've got yourself a rockin' story.
Yeah. This manga rocks out loud!

Just amazing! My favorite manga/anime!! It is P.E.R.F.E.C.T! Some romance, A LOT of horror, quite a lot of comedy, and it is about ghosts!! My favorite subject! lol Instead of Naruto going on forever I'd love for this series to go on forever!! I LOVE it! It is, in my opinion, THE BEST manga/anime ever made!!
It's hard to rate this manga after reading just one book. The story is a bit draggy but enjoyable. Not the best ghost/horror manga out there but good enough to buy the next volume.
I am really liking this series! Very well thought out.
Have read up to vol 9 in this series and its quite enjoyable.
Naru-chan needs to get laid. lol
