The Story So Far: A Reluctant Hero and a Ghost-Policing Girl
The original Let’s Go Kaikigumi manga, penned by View and published by Shogakukan Creative (with 5 volumes currently available in Japan), introduces us to a protagonist who is six times more susceptible to spiritual phenomena than the average person. This makes for a rather inconvenient life, until one day they cross paths with Mechako. Mechako runs the “Kaikigumi,” an extraordinary organization dedicated to policing the behavior of ghosts and monsters that pose a threat to humanity. Our nameless hero finds themselves inexplicably drawn into helping the Kaikigumi re-establish itself, leading to an array of strange events, hilarious misadventures, and plenty of spooky shenanigans. Get ready for a supernatural comedy unlike any other!
