These both are mangas about people attempting to solve mysteries. There are lots of references to studies done in the para sciences and the supernatural is approached from a logical viewpoint. Also, in both stories there are characters who have some sort ofl power that is helpful towards uncovering the truth. Expect equal parts horror and comedy.

The main characters in these two mangas are fairly similar. Both girls are energetic and not really used to the "pretty" role. Personality wise: they are a little bit strange, highly reactive emotionally, and somewhat awkward in social situations. The main male character is a cool guy who acts as a teacher to the main character. Overall, these are both very funny mangas with interesting situations happening all of the time.
