Side notes: I do remember that I read something similar couple years back and I kinda didn't like it as it was sad. I don't like sad stories so much but still there is always room for them too... though for some reason I can't even get that sad feeling out of this manga. The art is on good level and there is definite ikemen factor playing too but that comes to show only in some special pages. The stories are mainly average or I'm having just hard time to find any deeper emotion behind them. In all and all it's okay to read but how much one like it depends of the reader.^-^
Main characters
 |
| Sekka, a boy that can see ghosts. |
Sekka Miyabe (宮部雪加)
Moved back to his old home town to go high school there with his best friend Leon. His mother remarried after divorcing Sekka's father. Living with the new family and in a new strange town were making him a shut in so returning back was only natural for him. He is sensitive to supernatural things. He is also always worrying if others think that he is weird. And he doesn't like bugs 'cause leon was always feeding him those when they were little.
He had a pet budgie, Chiro, when he was little.

Leon (礼音)
Sekka's best friend. He didn't tell about dying 'cause he was afraid that after finding the truth Sekka wouldn't come to live with him or he himself would loose the connection to living people. He died when climbing through his own window (as he had done many times 'cause he had visited downstairs often like that when he was younger and lived above Sekka's apartment.) He is capable to take over Sekka's body if needed. He was also from single parent home. His mother was a hairdresser and he was born in Xmas, December 25. (died also in Xmas 2009 on his birthday).
