Need to exorcise your outer demons?  Will that be cash, check or charge?  You say you got a ghost in your prefecture?  In Japan that means you need to call Ghost Sweeper Mikami, the paranormal detective agency that’s a little abnormal.  Okay, make that a LOT abnormal, but they DO specialize in disposing of things that most people don’t even believe exist.  Run by the visually delicious and even more avaricious Reiko Mikami, and aided by the very perverted (but also  very loyal) Tadao Yokoshima, they’ll take any case that pays. And Tadao will do anything that might let him sneak a peak at Reiko’s magnificent physique.  How unfortunate for him that Reiko basically sees him as cannon-fodder, something that’s quite useful when your day to day business involves exorcising oni, yurei, yokai and anything else you might find in The Illustrated Bag of One Hundred Random Ghosts.  For the supernatural services where the biggest bangs command the biggest bucks and the unexplained is usually expected,  call on the first spectacular collection of GHOST SWEEPER MIKAMI!

For years, Yunos dreamed of attending Yamabuki Arts High School; but now that she’s been accepted, it means the scary prospect of moving away from her home and family for the first time! Fortunately, Yuno quickly learns that if her new neighbors at the eclectic Hidamari (Sunshine) Apartments aren’t technically family, at least the majority share the bond of being fellow art students. From second year students like Hiro and Sae, who try to behave like helpful older sisters (mostly successfully,) to her hyperactive new neighbor, classmate and best friend Miyako (who has the scariest apartment ever,) Yuno begins to build the support network she’ll need for dealing with strange characters like her oddly masculine landlady, her cosplay obsessed home room teacher, her tooth-chattering principal and all of the other odd denizens who inhabit her chosen world of art. It won’t be easy, and it won’t always be pretty, but with her friends at her back, Yuno’s going to reach for the stars in HIDAMARI SKETCH!

But with friends like Miyako, Hiro and Sae ready to lend a hand, there will always be a ray of sunshine at the end of every storm in Hidamari Sketch x Hoshimittsu.
