From Imai Kami, the creator of Needless.

NEW SERIES!!! Well, not really.

In fact, it's been running for several years, but it wasn't available in English (or even as raw scans, AFAIK) until now. Which was quite frustrating for Needless fans who wanted to sample Imai's other work. Anyway, it's finally been picked up by the people who did (the most recent chapters of) Needless.

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

Oogami is a detective with the power to hunt vengeful spirits. One day, someone sends him an eyeball...!

The curtain rises on this new-age entertainment full of mystery, horror, romance and comedy!

(source: back cover blurb, from the first chapter release)

Since only one chapter has been released so far, I don't actually have anything to say about it yet... Also, I resisted the temptation to tag the thread with "mystery", "horror", "romance" and "comedy" just because they're listed on the cover. Though some of those elements do seem to be present.

Yes! I've always wanted to read this. ~snip, snip~

Is that image actually of this series, or just a Needless parody of the series? If it's the former, then this feels like the direction Imai ultimately wanted to go with Needless (well, at least in terms of character designs)

Spoiler for Cool Moment:

Also their hair style in the manga seem to be the same as in the OP picture so i guess its part of the series

Avvesione · 2013-10-20, 17:55

I'm ready! Can't wait to see where this manga goes!

It's the real thing. As for the character designs,

Not sure if that's really a fair statement, but it's true that some of the characters in this manga do look remarkably familiar...

Hope that Sayuri girl stays with them ^^

Welp atleast Oogami doesnt seem to have that weakness for lolis like Adam does lol (But who knows later) the first chapter doesnt tell not even how the characters are but i kinda that girl reminds me to someone.

Ah, yes. I should have been making posts here too. Shirasunamura, the newer, or should I say redone one. Sadly I have been trying to get a hold of the Doujinshi version, but alas, importing issues.

Pardon, but I am Thy Sanely Insane Pries†, ReikuSSR, call me whatever. I am here to answer any questions in regards to any of Imai Kami's beautiful works. If it cannot be answered via cannon facts from the series or Imai Kami himself, I can give you my theories as to the answer.
I have read the entire series of Shirasunamura, to some extent, my translations maybe a bit off in some areas, but still please grace me with your questions.

Shirasunamura is my top manga series above over 120 manga I have sampled and read.

Thank you everyone for supporting Imai Kami, and please visit the Holiest Place in Hell
