Reviews

I became interested in this manga purely as a fan of Twelve Kingdoms and wanted to see what other things Fuyumi Ono had created. I've just finished reading Ghost Hunt and I guess I'm left pretty disappointed. Unlike Twelve Kingdoms, I felt there was little to no character development. Up until the very last volume, the manga is purely episodic stories with only the vaguest of callbacks from case to case. Even the characters themselves finally realize in the final volume that they know absolutely nothing about the people they have been working with for presumably months.

When an actual plot did emerge, I thought it was engaging and really well developed. Really, if the entire story had been like volume 12, I would have given this an 8 or 9. But after slogging through 11 volumes (honestly, around volume 3 or 4 I almost just gave up), we've only just finally learning some depth to the characters, but by now it's hard to even care.

So I guess, if you were like me and are now reading this review because you can't decide whether its worth it to continue, skip right to the very last volume as anything you could possibly miss is going to be summarized again for you anyway. Heck, you could probably just read volumes 1 and 12 and have a better experience than I did.
