ArtemisFowl's manga / #interesting characters(53)

Mikado, a bookstore clerk, can see ghosts. He doesn't want anyone to know, and can determine if they are a ghost by taking of his glasses -- those who are blurred are real, and those whose outline stays the same are ghosts. Unfortunately for him, a guy at the bookstore can see through him (both figuratively and literally) and tries to recruit him as an assistant after getting rid of a ghost at the bookstore, at the behest of the owner. The man, Rihito, offers to pay Mikado double what he's making at the bookstore, but Mikado won't do it because he's scared of the ghosts he sees and how he is disbelieved. Rihito assures him that, with him, Mikado won't feel scared anymore. What will become of this potential partnership? ~ Chapter 1 (technically 0.5)

Park Hansoo and Baek Chansol, after a long time, actually become friends. They hang out together. They spend time outside of school together. They genuinely get along, despite Hansoo's strange and charismatic personality, along with his reputation as a 'bad boy' who gets into fights all day long. Suddenly, during the middle of Baek Chansol's senior year, a serial killer named August (who the police haven't caught) strikes again; this time, to erase all of the people in the orphanage where Baek Chansol lives. It is a tragedy. All of members of the orphanage, except for him, die. He is the only survivor thanks to the fact he was hanging out with Hansoo, but it still leaves him with traumatic memories. Years later, as he's chasing down the serial killer who still hasn't been caught, he encounters a person with information while applying to a job: a one UM weapon's company Hansoo, going by the name of the nephew of the director of UM AND the Director of Sales Team A at the company. Baek Chansol doesn't seem to recognize Park Hansoo. Park Hansoo, on the other hand, does recognize Baek Chansol. He ends up hiring Baek Chansol to be his personal manager, all the while knowing Baek Chansol's secret (and telling him straight up to his face that he knows).
