Psychic Detective Yakumo

It feels like I’ve been reading a bunch of manga in the mystery genre fairly consistently.

This one is about a guy with a special red eye that allows him to see ghosts. He assists a girl that keeps coming to him for help in solving mystery cases. It’s quite short with only 9 chapters; I would definitely love to see more.

Tantei Gakuen Q

Started reading this yesterday. It’s about aspiring detectives solving mysteries. An interesting read with intriguing cases that contain no supernatural aspects. It’s all facts and deductions; the way mysteries are meant to be solved.

The manga seems good so far, but I haven’t seen the anime version yet.

Shiki

A mystery manga set in an isolated village. Shiki is based on a horror novel by Ono Fuyumi, who has also written other works such as Juuni Kokki (Twelve Kingdoms) and Ghost Hunt.

Juuni Kokki is one of my all time favorite anime series, which made it a certainty for me to read Shiki. I also thought Ghost Hunt (anime) was very well done to the point that I was freaked out at times by the suspense.

With this in mind, I added Shiki to my reading list to look for the same great mystery/horror plots.
