The Translation of the Akuryou Series

[touchturnfly]

Ghost Hunt is a novel that was originally called the "Akuryou series". It was released in 1989-1994. The manga is based on the Akuryou series and the anime is in turn based on the manga. As a sequel to the Akuryou series, Ono Fuyumi wrote two additional books that are together called Akumu no Sumu ie under a different label White Hearts. This carried "Ghost Hunt" as a series title for the first time. This is the story that is currently being adapted into a manga. The manga and anime were also titled "Ghost Hunt" and this is how the series is more popularly known as abroad.

The Akuryou series is/was (partially) translated by various people on baka-tsuki.org. To my knowledge, some of it was done by using Chinese translations. Akumu no sumu ie is translated directly from Japanese to English by me.
