• 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.

Rewritten Novel differences?

[lemongrenade]

Thanks so much for putting this together and hello from 2024 lmao. IDK if anyone will see this but I'm really curious about what differences the original novels have from the rewritten ones -- did she make any drastic changes? I doubt she changed any of the pairing/romance choices she made in the original series. Basically I'm curious why she redid them.
