Synopsis

Aoi Harukawa, Tomoya Sugisaki, and Ryou Kobayashi are three teenagers brought together by the prospect of meeting the Summer Ghost. The urban legend states that the spirit of a black-clad young woman with long hair will appear in an abandoned airfield when fireworks are lit.

During their search, the three are bearing the weight of the world on their shoulders. Relentlessly bullied at school, Aoi does not see a point in continuing to live. Tomoya is forbidden from having a creative outlet for his stress due to fears that it will affect his grades. Ryou quits his basketball team despite still feeling passion for the sport.

Each teen has their own reason for wanting to meet the spirit who died by suicide, but it seems as if something else draws Aoi, Tomoya, and Ryou together. As their summer comes to an end, the trio begins to wonder if the ghost will be able to provide answers to their lingering, morbid questions about death.

There is the ghost of a girl who killed herself on a railway track. Have you been able to see her?

Read this story to find out.

This manga was originally written as a novel by another of the Honkaku Mystery Writers of Japan, Otsuichi, well known for Goth (that also got a manga adaptation).

If you don’t know what the genre is let me explain it briefly. The honkaku genre is a subcategory of the mystery genre that was born in Japan, in a time when the mystery genre was no longer affluent and was dying out. It focuses on fair play and the journey ...

Preliminary (10/15 eps)
I came to read this after I finished the adaptation. I felt like the anime was really good, but was lacking a bit of depth and relationship between the three characters, so I decided to read the manga, and boy do I not regret it.

The anime primarily focuses more on the relationship between Tomoya and the ghost. I guess you can say it was mostly from Tomoya's perspective.

In the manga, it focuses more on the other two best friends, Aoi and Ryou's perspectives and everyone's friendship. They emphasized a lot more why all 3 of them mean so much to one another as I ...
