Ack, you bet me to it... Spoiler:
I'm really sorry I sound so convoluted. This is the first time I've really had such a good pour over a manga with someone. It's making me hyper. Plus I've had like four hours sleep in the last day. Maybe I should go to bed for the sake of all our sanity. |

Wow, such an interesting thread !
Curiosity totally got me few days ago after watching some of the anime episodes. Somehow, I've managed to have a quick look at the manga up to vol 9. Chinese version, but i'm not sure. Worst of all is that I'm far from being fluent in chinese, so all I could do was some rambling "ahah nice doodles" ... "wah creepy ghost" ... Blame my lack of knowledge >< Anyway, i've somehow built my own theories, and that's why I'm posting in the first place So here it comes... First, about Mai's dreams. Spoiler:
On a side note about Mai, Spoiler:
Then, there's Naru "I'm the mysterious but quite handsome guy, don't you think so ?" case And that's where I start to cry because images alone won't give me clear hints about his background ! Once again, my crazy imagination comes to the rescue... Spoiler:
On a final note about Naru, Spoiler:
I hope my assumptions wasn't too boring, it seems i've written a block ^^; . I'll put away my english dictionnary for now I shall ask Santa Amazon Claus to bring me US Ghost Hunt volumes for x-mas since in France there is no license ! Ps : so mush spoiler tags... I assume that I'm perhaps too careful ! Last edited by Cilia; 2006-12-16 at 03:44. Reason: added a third conclusion ! |

Spoiler for discussing what you found:
I'll be upfront with everyone. I know things about Naru and Mai's dreams that I've learned from people who have read the novels and listened to the CD dramas. I don't know all the answers to our questions especially questions about Lin and Masako unfortunately. I promise that I won't write anything that I know in advance of the manga here in the forum. I don't want anyone to accidentally learn something h/she doesn't want to know just yet. (I will admit my theorizing is based in part on my spoiler knowledge. So I'm very careful about what I will and won't theorize about.) However, if you absolutely positively want to know some answers before they are revealed in the manga (whenever that may be), I'll tell you what I know in a PM if you promise not to share that knowledge on the forum not even under a spoiler button. Drop me a PM if you want some answers now. Just keep in mind the non-disclosure agreement and that I don't have all the answers you may want. |

Everything I learned I learned after reading through volume 5. Volume 6 will be the first one I read where I know the story is heading. |

You had some very interesting thoughts, Cilia, and I totally by-passed them earlier. Shame on me. One thing I especially want to comment on since you asked a question about it.
I had a similar thought. Since this has happened a couple of times already, I don't think it needs a spoiler button any more. Whenever Mai reaches panic stage and starts mentally calling for help, sI've noticed that someone almost always arrives with to help and the evil thingie that's threatening her disappears. So far nothing obvious in the manga explains this as far as I can see. My three theories on this: 1) Mai is somehow partially able to disperse the evil thingie herself. 2) Mai's call for help reaches others on a subliminal level. 3) Bad reliance on plot coincidence by the novelist. Reasons number one and two are theories I wouldn't mind having confirmed. Reason number three would be very disappointing to learn. PS to White Manju Bun: Love the new avatar! |

Okay, I've actually got a lot of what could be spoilers. I got them from reading a fanfic story by a girl who appears to have read both the books and mangas that are available in japan. While I am not supposed to be linking to the website where her fanfics for ghost hunt are, I will do so for reference for everyone. This does have the potential to ruin the mystery of a lot that goes on behind the scenes in ghost hunt.
Spoiler:
I've got to admit when I learned this stuff I was really surprised, but it does explain a lot. Last edited by mercury589; 2006-12-17 at 21:01. Reason: spoiler hiding didn't work. |

Sorry
Here's the website with the fanfic, half of the fanfics are in japanese, but it's the first story and it's still unfinished.

I know, I couldn't believe it after I read that story. I mean most of the spoilers aren't really explained so I am not 100% positive on all of it especially the dream part, but the first sentence sentence she does explain. While her fanfic is pretty good, it still does reveal a lot of the story.
