"The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 7

This chapter bids a final farewell to Kyariko, raises questions about Leon's true natural and status, and deals with Sekka's emotions around Kyariko's passing.  It's a nice transition to next ghost's arc and as usual, the story thoughtfully and delicately deals with Sekka.  He's such a sweet boy.  Onto the link!

My Thoughts on the Chapter:

I love that mangaka manages to make Sekka a full fledged emotional character without making him effeminate or super-aggressive.  I completely understand why he became at shut-in.  It can happen to sensitive people.  Anyhow, Sekka is opening up to the other ghosts and he's seems to understand his duty as a medium to help the ghosts pass on.  I wonder, though, when Sekka will start making friends in the living world.  Sure he's made a connection with Hashimoto, but that's not the same as making a connection with someone his own age.  I don't think Leo can pass on until Sekka becomes a full member of the living world. Anyhow, I really like Sekka and I'm cheering him on!

Leo -- he's in danger, but what is the danger and what's truly going on with Leo.  Did he know the ooze creatures would come after Sekka before he invited Sekka to live with him?  What would happen if the ooze creatures captured Sekka?  Why can Sekka see ghosts? Is there something about Leo's death that sets his ghost up for a crueler fate than the rest of the ghosts in this story.

This series is currently at chapter 11.  Next up is Crook, and I promise a lot of 2D crushed on Crook/Sekka and there's some LOVELY color artwork coming our way too :).

"The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 6

 

This chapter closes out Kyariko's story arc.  I like they way this student teacher relationship is closed our, even though it's bitter sweet.  For those folks who were bugged by Kyariko, she'll only appear now in the flashback.  I'm currently mulling over chapter 7.  Volume 2 of this series isn't scheduled to be released until mid-September.  The image quality of chapter 7 and chapter 8 from my copies of Princess magazine is dramatically lower than the other chapters from the books and the previous magazines.  However chapters 9 - 11 have high quality.  Should we wait for the tankoubon and put out chapter 7 in October or should we keep going and use what we've got?

Next up is the surprise one-shot:  "Akuma ni Itsukushimi no Te wo" ("The Hands the Demon Adored").  After that is a double release of "The Scarecrow of Oz" chapters 3 and 4.

I will put my thoughts on the chapter in the comments section later.

"The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 5

The zip for this chapter is watermarked with the same big and annoying watermarks on "Junketsu + Kareshi" chapter 9.  It seems that some folks haven't gotten the message, so I have have to resume the watermarking.  The PDF is clean, though.  Those of you viewing the PDF on a mobile device or a tablet will not notice any degradation in image quality, however, some of you with PC's connected to high resolution monitors will notice a decrease in image quality.

On to the chapter!  This chapter continues the Kyariko arc.  In it we learn why she's still bound to Earth, but we don't find out what closure she wants so she can move on to the next world.  Of course Kyariko is in love with one of her male teachers, but the story of her crush is told thoughtfully so I'm not foaming at the mouth in anger over the matter.

I don't have deep thoughts to add about this chapter.  It's nice gentle read, with a quick dirty zinger, and a bit of a shock at the end.  As usual, the side characters are very funny and Sekka seems to be getting some nice lesons about life.

Next up!
Next up is "Blue Rhapsodia" by Akane Ogura!  Please look forward to it!
