Tokyopop
When Finney falls in love with a girl who also happens to be a ghost, he decides to stop at nothing to win her heart, even if that means his own death. This book is a playful reflection on the tribulations of adolescence set in a place where the inhabitants are scarier than the horrors of school, dating, and puberty.
A random charity shop find leads me down a new path for me, American manga.
The story is of a young lad, the only 'normal' in a school full of ghosts and ghoulies. He lives with the ghosts of his parents and ancestors and is in full knowledge that he'll end his days in a manner most ridiculous. Then, into his life comes the girl of his dreams but there is, of course, a problem, she's also a ghost.
The whole thing looks and reads like a fairly innocuous US animated series and there's very little to actually hang onto. The art is clean and clear and the story rolls along but it just isn't very engaging. It is essentially vapid but not complete dreck.
