stressedpenguin's manga / #ghost(19)

Gotou's house is possessed by the ghost of a high school delinquent who's hanging out in his apartment so he can eventually reunite with his younger siblings. After living together a bit, the two fall in love. Was hoping the younger brother would get to see the older one eventually but that's okay. 5/10. Very standard plot, not a lot of drama.

I hate to say it but... what a let down. The premise was interesting and the first two cases with the sword and voodoo lady were interesting, sure, but the story doesn't deliver on anything else. It sets up for SOMETHING to happen with the naked guy and MC, but then nothing??? They barely even interact all things considered. The story is also bogged down by a large cast of characters and not enough time to explore any if them. There was a lot of potential that didn't... go anywhere I don't think it's the story's fault. It feels like it got cut off just as it was picking up, so I imagine something happened behind the scenes, which is such a shame. Was really interested in this one and the art is great 6/10.

Guy is so desperate he rapes a ghost but it's okay cuz hes got a dead mom, that's how this works right? They keep flip flopping between him being an annoying asshole rapist and being a sad depressed kid who misses his mom. I guess people can be both both when its literally back to back panels, I just... ugh Story could have been fine. Ending was fine, decently cute. Pretty standard all around I guess 4/10

Ow my heart. The cheerful popular guy at school dies suddenly and only the loner uke can see his ghost. Uke helps helps him cross off his checklist of unfinished business including reconciling with his mom The ending was inevitable but it still hurt Its bittersweet but I'm happy he makes friends 7/10

Yknow. I want to say this hit me in the feels, but I honestly just couldn't get into it. After hitting his head in an accident, out MC is suddenly able to see the 17 yr old ghost that's been living in his apartment. MC was an aspiring mucision who's given up on his dreams after a heartbreakingly disastrous first street performance, but through his interactions with this ghost, he rediscovers his love for singing. I think knowing the ghost was... a ghost and given the very grounded tone of the story, I probably checked out emotionally before I even began. I want to say this was good and that it hurt or was cathartic or whatever, I cant. I just didn't engage with the story at all, so it didn't feel any different from all the other things I've read. I think it was just objectively good from an art, story, and execution standpoint so.... 6/10

Just a cute lil vengeful possessed doll being cared for and loved

Initially really liked this but wound up feeling apathetic.... Season 1 reaction: FINALLY an intense, supernatural, shaman mystery with a cohesive plot, complex characters, and good pacing!! Gonna wait till more episodes before I continue Update ch 50. Well that kinda... sucked. The last 20 chapters are just a series of character's jumping back and forth between locations, proclaiming things and then immediately undermining those things, and me feeling frustrated that nothing seemed to have any consequence in the end. To make myself feel better, here a bulleted list of everything I found annoying. MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE LAST 20 CHAPTERS: . . . . . . . . >>Characters magically appearing in locations. By that I mean, Eun Cheon will be at the shaman learning place or whatever with Do-Rim. He leaves and runs into the murder mafia guy, gets kidnapped to a random location, and then seven pages later Do-rim just appears. Nothing to indicate how much time has passed, or how Do-rim found them. Like was it forensic investigation? Divination? I would assume divination at this point, but it frustrated me. >>The two ukes getting constantly raped by the incubus fucker right up until the final battle. Eun Cheon is literally half naked cuz the demon was raping him two minutes before Do-rim shows up for the final fight >>Do-rim promising to save Eun Cheon at least twice, and then immediately failing to do so, at least twice. >>The cut away scenes shaman people being like "their fate is inevitable" and "it's doomed, they're doomed" to convince us something bad is going to happen and then none of that happening >>Jeong Mok being REALISTICALLY a traumatized child who just wants to save the only family he's ever had in his life but NARRATIVELY really fucking stupid and frustrating. Mr. Murder Brother was really fucking noble resisting the incubus and suffering to keep everyone else safe, and Jeong Mok undermines ALL of that. >>The conflict ending with a Deus Ex Eun Cheon's Mom. This whole story has centered around DO-RIM's ancestors and DO-RIM's powers even when Eun Cheon was technically using them. Like, it's DO-RIM's family the incubus has a grudge against. We've built them up as something formidable, especially the Divine General. And then they all just die in one sword swipe in a single chapter and Eun Cheon's ancestors pop out of his ass to save the day. First 30 chapters are an 8/10. Last 20 chapters are a 4/10. Overall score... 6/10?

Guy fucks the ghost in his room but it's kinda wholesome
