Yasuhara forces Mai to confess to Naru by hitting on Naru himself.  Submitted by Anonymous

dinosaurs/Jurassic Park  Submitted by Anonymous

dream body swap. Humor/canon compliant. If impossible to focus on everyone, it must at least focus on Monk and Yasuhara, please! During a case, the spirit messes with their memories so that the team enters a shared dream and somehow find themselves in each other’s bodies. They must re-live a case we’ve actually seen in anime/manga, but they don’t know another person is also trapped in their body. They have to finish the dream faithfully trying to act as each other, but as the dream goes on, they realize something’s just a little off and they start to wonder. Submitted by @seoulsborne123

Gimme a Lin-centric story that shows our favorite stoic onmyoji getting into some sort of trouble. He’s always shown as being this perfectly responsible adult. Surely he has flaws.

*Translation updated/added with 1/11/21 update

Hey Ghost Hunt fans!

The November/December survey is up!! Let’s all ask for the Ghost Hunt novels/manga to be licensed and published in English!!

This time the survey allows us to request titles in specific genres/categories.  Ghost Hunt would fit under “ACTION, HORROR, or SUPERNATURAL” or “CLASSIC (from the 1990s or earlier).”

REMEMBER: You can request Ghost Hunt in both the manga and light novel categories, but be sure to request it only once each, or it’ll be disqualified!

a ghost hunt zine

It’s finally here!! Take a look at Familiar Keepsakes, our fandom’s collaborative zine! With the theme of ‘Family,’ we wish to impart how much Ghost Hunt has brought us all together to make one big ole family, just as how the SPR gang has formed lifelong ties with each other 💖

We apologize for the wait, though it’s always better late than never, right? 😁 Consider this as a special treat just for you. (Happy Halloween!)

Thank you very very much to our contributors! Please send your love over to them! @csakuras​ ​ @willtart​​ @flychansan​​ @atalieaoi​​ @thisurlplease​​ @vzyfny​ @crazydcchick​​ @radiowrites​​ @eyeliner-vampire​​

Thank you also to our wonderful editorial board! @rmnitb​​ @tiffotcf​​ @books-tea-ghosts​​ @puff-the-evil-dragon​​ @samantha-girlscout​​

Download it here! ➡ https://tinyurl.com/FamiliarKeepsakes-GH

A short note on the files:

1. The [reading copy] is meant to be read digitally. The pages have been ordered so as to emulate the appearance of a zine, but please do not print this. 2. The [printing copy] has been set for back-to-back printing on A4 paper. If you do not have a border-less printing feature on your printer, scale the file down to 90~95% so that nothing will be cut out. If you need help with this, message @rmnitb​​  2a. After printing the zine, you can bind it using several methods. You may find tutorials online.

Lastly, thank you for your support! Let’s collab again and make more zines together soon~

Head on over to SPR WRITERS' CAFE!! Dm me so I can send you an invite link!!

It's finally here!! Sorry for the delay!! I've decided to post the first volume for now since the second is still under way, and the third will only be posted once the second is up.

It's Noll and Gene's birthday after all, and what better way to spend the day than to cry over the twins while reading their stories~

Included in this volume are the following:

His Reality

Confession for a White Crow

Angel with a Bicycle

Eugene

Fuyumi Ono, of course, is the amazing writer who wrote these stories, and all rights are reserved to her and her publishers.

Enjoy!! I have a very small part in this collection—I just did the layout haha! Please please don't forget to thank the following people for the AMAZING work and effort they poured into this project. This never would have happened without them!

Translation (stories): @csakuras

Translation (preface): @thisurlplease

Cover: @seoulsborne123

[Layout version guide]

I made two layout types: (1) for reading on any device capable of opening pdf files, and (2) for back to back printing on A4 paper.

The first layout type is a simple pdf that you can read using whichever pdf app or program you prefer to use.

The second layout type is further divided into two kinds, but only the cover differs: one is colored and the other is b/w. You may print either of these depending on the ink available to you. The content of both versions are the same. (I suggest printing the cover on glossy board paper, around 120gsm, to make it all sparkly~ the other pages can be printed on regular 60~80gsm paper)

[Printing guide]

Be mindful of margins as normal printers do not print until the edges. You may scale down the document's size to 90% or 85%

Print either of the files labelled "for printing" as you normally would on your printer, BACK-TO-BACK ON A4 PAPER

Make sure that the pages are in the correct order (refer to the printing copy pdf, the order should be exactly the same)

Fold the stack in half to prepare the booklet for binding. You may also fold each piece of paper individually to make it neater, just make sure to put the pages back in order

Bind the booklet using a long-arm stapler if you have one, or using a needle and some thread. It's pretty easy to do, there's a lot of tutorials online. Just search "zine binding tutorial"

After binding, cut off the edges using a cutter and ruler

You're done!!

If you have any questions about printing, binding or about the collection itself, feel free to reply to this post or send me a direct message!! If you're also interested in collaborating with me for a different zine project, let me know anytime ^^

Hey Ghost Hunt fans!

Seven Seas Entertainment has another survey up and I want to promote it again, because with the Ghost Hunt novels being rereleased and getting renewed attention in Japan, this seems like a really good time to ask for an English license!!!  Maybe if the fandom at large requests it every month this year, they’ll consider it!  >:)

LET’S DO THIS!

I’m really sorry for this veeeeery late update. A lot of things happened in between, however, I’m so happy to finally be able to share this to you!! I’ve been poring over this short story, rekindling my motivation and delving into the GH world again with a lot of nostalgia.

A heartfelt thank you to @csakuras​ for helping me with some blurry kanji a few years back (this really is a long time coming, sorry T_T). I wrote my thoughts posted after the Notes here about 3 years ago, and I still think the same so nothing much was changed except some elaborations. 

I will still be busy due to online classes, but I have restarted on Bou-san’s story. I will come back with his story next time~ 

Enjoy reading~ 

(Extra Note: The line breaks always disappear when I have people tagged correctly, so I just used dashes instead T_T)
