• Akuryou novel series: The translation is ongoing. See baka-tsuki.org.
• Akumu no sumu ie novel: Complete! See spr.dreamwidth.org. Important: If you read the Akumu no sumu ie novel/manga with anime-only knowledge, you will get spoiled and miss some very important developments. Unfortunately the original novel series translation is incomplete, so please read manga volumes 10-12 instead.
• Ghost Hunt manga: The manga is licensed, but volume 12 has not been published yet. A scanlation of volumes 10-12 is up at batoto.
• Ghost Hunt anime: Only covers up to volume 6 of the Akuryou novel series. Read vol 10-12 of the manga to fill up the gap between the anime and the Akumu no sumu ie novel/manga.
• Ghost Hunt Rewritten Novel series: No translation available yet.
• Akumu no sumu ie Manga: Complete. Scanlation is up at batoto.
