Saiké’s Ghost Reaper Girl follows Chloe, a young and struggling actress, as she finds herself dragged into the affairs of the spirit world after a jailbreak from Hades leaves the living world flooded with malicious spirits.
Overall, this manga was hilarious and certainly kept me reading. Chloe gets tangled up with two male ghosts. Mind, now, one is a cat (which I adored). And in true cat fashion, Noel ‘adopts’ Chloe despite her protests. It felt like Sailor Moon meets Ghostbusters.
I didn’t care for the fact that Chloe was oft objectified, especially when possessed. Even Chloe herself finds some of the clothing she ends up in more than a little special. There’s also the unsettling Lolita reference, though Chloe is an adult nearing 30.
