Phantom Busters synopsis
The story centers on Mogari Shishikuno, a high school student with the power to eat spirits. He runs away from his strict family home and moves to Kamakura to enjoy a normal youth. But the task waiting for him turns out to be exorcising every spirit in Kamakura.
An incident brings Mogari together with Eugene Korekishi, a top honor student who doesn’t believe in ghosts at all. The two then form an exorcism club called the Phantom Busters.
The club then gains two new members. Kaoru Kanzaki is a manga otaku who can see ghosts, while Kotaro Tamon can talk to ghosts but struggles to deal with people. And so their lively, chaotic school life begins.
