Shibito no Koe wo Kiku ga Yoi

Jun Kishida is a sickly high-school student who can see the dead. One person in particular has been following him around: his childhood friend Ryoko Hayakawa, who is no longer alive. The premise is a supernatural horror-comedy about a boy whose gift makes ordinary life difficult, and a ghost who refuses to let him go.The strength is the pairing. Jun's weary, sardonic attitude plays well against Ryoko's stubborn presence. The horror beats are effective, and the comedy keeps the mood from becoming too grim.The weaknesses are about the formula. Some ghost cases follow a familiar pattern, and the long run can feel episodic. Readers who dislike spooky material may find some scenes unsettling.Recommended for fans of supernatural stories with a comic heart. Expect a spooky, warm read that works best in steady doses.
