Tanaka Suzuki: Tenkôsei Jinno Murasaki vol. 2
Midori does a stakeout at the school following a disturbing even with a ghost at the end of the previous volume, and Murasaki stays with him. They both fall asleep, though, and when they wake up, they find themselves trapped in a school where students are preparing for a festival. It turns out they are all ghosts trapped there for years, every night preparing for the festival tomorrow which never comes. Some of the students are out to kill Midori, because they seem to know he has the ability to delete the ghosts, and some other of the students are looking for Midori to get deleted so they can get out of this place.
Me, I still love Murasaki who is scolded and left behind by Midori and is all "Meeeeeep" (cute!), and adore Harada-san, one of the ghosts who appear at the end, who seems really fangirlish and funny. Augh, me want volume three.
At the end is also included a short story about a boy getting kidnapped. It has the feeling of Tanaka's earlier short stories like Memai (Shi-Ran scanlated that one), in the sense that it seems mundane but is rather scary. I just love the way she can be casually disturbing, like this off-hand remark from the kidnapper after he figures out the boy isn't an ordinary boy: "I don't really like corpses, but ... I guess it'll have to do ..." Waaaaaaah!! Get this man away from me!
But anyway, I repeat: OMG I luv.
