This manga is honestly one of the best mangas I've ever read. The story revolves around a girl named Miko who is able to see terrifying and disgusting monsters that no one else can see. Although this story seems generic, it really isn't. Instead of the MC fighting the monsters and becoming some op hero, Miko puts on a poker face and attempts to ignore them. The story develops and gets very intense, it's not just a collection of standalone chapters. The story gets more fleshed out and introduces very interesting characters that leaves you on the edge of your seat wondering what kind of ... development will come next. The art is beautiful, the characters are very funny and lovable, and the manga as a whole is fantastic and absolutely worth the read.

Volumes 1-4 review: 3.5/5
Some of the fanservice early on rubbed me the wrong way, and it's so far hard to tell where this story is going (if anywhere). So far it's mostly a slice of life, while some things imply some sort of overarching plot going on.
The concept however is fucking great. This teen girl can see all sorts of dangerous(?) and powerful spirits, which no one can, and she's absolutely terrified, but she tries to pretend everything's fine in hopes that the spirits will not harm her. Occasionally she gets to help others out in matters of lost family members and there's some heart-warming ... moments but mostly this poor girl is just suffering and trying to find help.

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.
