Spectre emanga11/6/2022 ![]() Our introduction to the main character, Kotoko, is framed as a young girl pining over the handsome boy visiting the hospital leading up to her fateful little confession to him, and I liked that this served really characterize her as a charmingly forthright character that I wanted to cheer for in the early going. You’d be forgiven in reading the first quarter or so of this volume and forgetting that anything out of the ordinary is supposed to be going on at all, and the restraint that this volume shows in carefully building up the supernatural elements of its story was one of the most impressive things it did in the early going. 1 does pretty much everything a first volume should do in its two chapters – the first introduces and characterizes Kotoko and Kuro in a meaningful way before showing off a little bit of the world, and the second builds on this in an exciting way by introducing a solid mystery and some good action that held my attention throughout. ![]() SPECTRE EMANGA SERIESIt was to my pleasant surprise to find out that quite plainly, this volume rocks, and I was happy to see it succeed where a lot of other series fail in terms of setting up an interesting supernatural premise with some likable characters. I generally understood that In/Spectre was premised as some sort of supernatural mystery series, and in flipping open the front cover I more or less prepared myself for a generic action adventure series with minimally developed characters of little interest with a formulaic plot. ![]() While the two may not get off to an immediate romantic start, there are plenty of other ways for Kotoko to cosy up to Kuro as the two strike up a partnership to take on a series of supernatural mysteries together. She finds out that Kuro’s relationship may not have ended due to normal reasons, but she’s got a secret of her own – Kotoko was abducted at a young age and made into a god of wisdom, giving her the ability to see and communicate with supernatural beings known as yokai. After two years of watching him from afar, Kotoko finds out that Kuro’s girlfriend, Saki, has broken up with him, emboldening her to ask him to date her with marriage in mind. Kotoko Iwanaga is a frequent guest at her local hospital, and she’s got a major crush on Kuro Sakuragawa, a visitor to one of the patients at the hospital. Kotoko has a crush on Kuro, but with all manner of yokai in the picture as well as supernatural mysteries to be solved, getting these two together might be a little bit difficult in this new supernatural adventure!
