I've reviewed Ghost Hunt in the past, (I love it! You can find it using the tags Fuyumi Ono and Shiho Inada) but the latest release, volume 10, is when the characters really get interesting; a lot is revealed about the characters' backgrounds, and true to form, this volume's plot looks to be the scariest yet!
The books do get progressively scarier and more intense as the plot continues, and yet the humour is still kept up by the lighthearted banter between the characters.
In this volume, the group chance upon a lake (After getting lost on the way back from picking up Nari at the hospital) and on Naru's command, they call in divers for an unknown reason.
Naru and Rin are keeping their true aim secret, and the other men seem to know more than they're letting on. Mai is also frustrated when she ends up being the only one who doesn't know what's going on, and so confronts Naru, finding out the truth behind the psychic investigation business...
It was set up for the sole purpose of finding this place, and the secret that is buried in the lake.
During all this, the town's mayor approaches the group and offers them a case to pass their time. Unconfirmed rumours about an abandoned school? Not something that would usually interest the narcissistic employer, but he's on edge, and takes it up to keep himself active.
Of course, things soon turn sour when the group is trapped inside during a rainstorm, and members of the group begin to disappear one by one, accompanied by the sound of children's laughter.
Spooky stuff!
The book ends on a cliffhanger, and I'm frothing at the mouth for volume 11, which I think will finally reveal everything about Naru!!! EEK!
