Mitama Security: Spirit Busters

Mitama Security: Spirit Busters

A manga about a teenager girl Rena Haze who is haunted by a procession of spirits. An elite SecuREIty agent Joh Mitama comes to protect her but he is terrified of spirits.

We’ve discussed this on an older episode.

I absolutely loved this quirky comedy of a manga. I think Tsurun Hatomune has had amazing comedy chops since his previous series Mukidashi no Hakuchou. Everything involving the character of Shakejiro was hilarious. While Mitama Security: Spirit Busters lasted longer than other newer series in Weekly Shonen Jump, it was unfortunately canceled in under a year. I hope to see Hatomune come back soon with another great comedy series soon.

You can still read it on Manga Plus for now.

Mukidashi no Hakuchou

Mukidashi no Hakuchou

A manga about the perfect student Kakeru Shiratori who is a secret streaking exhibitionist.

This is a really ridiculous comedy. Kakeru is obsessed with the thrill of being naked at school and nearly gets caught every chapter but narrowly escapes. It’s pretty one note until Kakeru gets into naked battles against other streakers which is equally preposterous to read about. The series didn’t last on Jump+ and it ended after four volumes but luckily Tsurun Hatomune has recently found success with Mitama Security: Spirit Busters in Weekly Shonen Jump. I recommend reading Mitama Security: Spirit Busters because Hatomune has really perfected his comedy in it.
