A moe slice of life with a spice of horror.

This series is carried on the back of the titular character. Let's not get anything twisted here, this series is about cute girls doing cute things. It just so happened that the cute thing is supernatural encounters and being scared to tears. And the series is at its strongest when they are committing to that slice-of-life bit. It tries to set up pieces for a longer narrative at the moment, but they don't seem to click yet. And the plot that we have right now is unfortunately not as entertaining as the more "mundane" stories.

Solid 7, not as much horror as I would've liked, I went in blind so I was expecting Junji Itou levels.
However it's unique, and the premise is pretty good.
The art is pretty good, my main complaint would be that the main protagonist trio is kinda one dimensional. Just your standard characters from any school anime about cute girls.
It starts off as a slice of life but gets much more exciting from around volume 4. Contrary to what seems to be the popular opinion, I enjoyed the slow pacing in the first 20 or so chapters; made it that much better when the plot actually ... started to progress.
Would recommend to horror and occult fans looking for a light read.

Okay, it's a manga about a normal girl that sees ghosts. She has absolutely no character development. I have no reason to care about this character.

There is no purpose to the show. It's supposed to be funny that she sees ghosts and has to act like she doesn't. It's not funny. Even if it was funny, the same joke done 1,000 times is no longer funny.

I have no idea what other people find compelling about this series. It's absolutely dreadful. I can't believe someone actually made it into an anime.

If she had to put the ghosts to rest or something, maybe you'd ... have an actual plot.

Her friends are one girl with gigantic breasts who likes to eat a lot. Great.

Her other friend is a high school loli. Okay.

That's it.
