really good short manga  
by Tiamat

Rating: 10.0  / 10.0
I was hoping for a bit more trickiness to the cases but I think even though it's based around a mystery theme, it's more about the romance and the characters than anything else. The two main characters are both quite likable, and I found it easy to care about them even in such a short series. There are sad parts but the ending is really good, ending on a happy note. Most mangas have horrible endings, so it's a nice change of pace.

Light-hearted mystery and romance  
by Telengard

Rating: 8.0  / 10.0
Loaded with humor and jokes, this manga doesn't take itself too seriously, and it's easy to read. The supernatural elements are interesting, and the horror elements are very mild. Though the romance is probably the main point of the story, it's somewhat sidelined until the second volume.

The characters aren't very remarkable in themselves, but all have unique personalities. I was able to relate to the main characters fairly easily, and all were like-able. Maki-chan is adorable in her own unique way, but is a very mysterious character indeed.

The first volume of the manga is mainly episodic, with most stories requiring the detectives to find clues and solve a mystery. The second volume is a continuum where the main characters learn from each other, develop, and evolve their relationships.

The plot is a little erratic, with a few unproductive side stories filling time until the manga concludes. Think of the first volume as your introduction to the characters and their circumstances, while the second volume is where the plot really gets going.

Most readers will find something to like about this manga, whether it's the stories, the humor, or the characters. I liked it alot, and will watch for future works from this magaka.

I really love the artwork and charcter design; all the characters are done nicely especially the girls. The story starts nice but its not something you should be reading for a hardcore complex storyline. More of an easy short story with nice art and a mediocre storyline.

Starts out nicely but the ending is rather bland. Its shortness is actually a positive aspect.

...wait, what? That's the ending?! I'm not satisfied!! It seems like it just got cut short!! D=

The characters is funny. I laughed whenever she said his debt went up, according to the ghost behind him. Mild romance and mild horror, which I'm glad 'cause I'm not a fan of horror. Quite interesting to see what's the truth of Maki's body.

Hmm, I really like the storyplot. It was building up so nice, yet the ending (??) kinda just cut us off. Because of that, my rating went down.

This story and its characters could have easily developed in depth with additional chapters, yet it wrapped itself up well despite that. The series also offered a continuous flow of surprises which was very much appreciated.
