Product Description:
A HAUNTING WE WILL GO!
After a schoolboy’s suicide, the team at Shibuya Psychic Research must unravel mysteries at a local high school. As fires break out in an empty office and a stinky smell sickens an entire classroom, the ghost hunters’ job will take both courage and a strong stomach.
The team also investigates a church with a mysterious spirit that haunts only children, and in a hilarious twist, Mai is possessed and thinks that Lin is her daddy. But laughs quickly turn to concern when Lin hides in the snow and cannot be found. Now it’s very important that SPR saves him before he freezes to death!

Rated by buyers -
Ok, perhaps I feel compelled to review this series since it is so widely ignored. I think I should stop this sometime soon. Oh well!
To start things off with a warning vol.4 is a cliffhanger which will be continued in vol. 5. Thankfully the subsequent vol is being released faster. So if you hate a cliffhanger wait it out until vol.5 is released, but seriously shouldn't all manga readers be accustomed to cliffhangers?
Once again there is a mystery at the school, which might possibly be tied to Kokkuri-san a Japanese form of the ouija board - sort of. As the text notes states Korruri-san actually summons a spirit on purpose. Also, the reader is given a hint that Mai's ESP episode in vol.3 may not be a fluke at all. This story also introduces the (last?) of the group the studious Yasuhara. Although the story itself doesn't show that he will be a major character, but the author notes do. There is also a really funny side story where Mai is possed by the spirit of a child and thinks that Lin is her father. The typical father/child jokes ensue, but it is actually very well done and funny.
Overall, this story's plot line is much more clean than vol. 3 and mimics the works of 2 and 1. The characters remain hidden by the plot line which adds to the feeling of the reader being a "fly on the wall" as the plot is revealed. There are some really scary moments in this vol with a creepy ghost dog and the spirits of several children. Plus it was 7/2 and a fireworks display went off as I read the vol. The art remains just as good although the cover art is a little weird.
This vol is really well done and is beginning to pick up the pace of the series.
