Happy Halloween!! Made it in time! I was able to finish inktober2023, and idk... Maybe I can also do nanowrimo?!

Hey, I have a question! I'm working on an academic paper about the theme of othering and coming of age in Ghost Hunt, and I wanted to ask like, proper permission to use your translations. There's no rush getting back to me on this, it's very much a back-burner project I come back to when I have time/energy, but I didn't want to write this thing without actual permission to use your hard work.

Sure, I don’t mind! Obviously, I’ve been away from translating for several years and left a lot unfinished, but if it’s useful to you, go ahead!

[underestimated-heroine]

remember when everyone started calling Naru "Naru-bou" (-bou is a very respectful yet niche honorific used for someone with a great deal of - assumed - spiritual esteem and power) and his reaction was "...finally." Like he didn't even realize his employees had a misconception about his abilities until Mai said something even though they'd basically started calling him "[Spiritual] Master Naru." If he'd gone into work one day and they all stood up and bowed to him I swear this kid would have been like, "...It's about time." And sauntered into his office without thinking twice about it.

[csakuras]

The “bou” of Naru-bou is actually short for “bouya” (坊や), which means “boy.” It’s basically an affectionate nickname for someone younger than you, like “sonny,” and Monk is the only one who calls Naru that. 😅 Monk similarly calls Mai “jou-chan” (嬢ちゃん) , which is like “girly” or “little lady.”

[dumphim-studios]

naru when he's being mean or nice or happy or bored or just fine. he's mad at you like 😐 and then he'll save u from a haunted doll like 😐 and gain your trust, break a spoon in front of you then tells you he believes you and get you out of an abusive relationship and he 😐 then he lies about a position being open bc ur also an orphan and he thinks ur living pretty bad and he calls u to offer u a job and 😐

Happy Summer!

It didn't turn out the way I wanted. I forgot how to work with gouache again, bummer. Oh well, I might revisit this again later. I wasn't sure if I should submit this for the GH fanworks event as this didn't really fit the art prompts, but I wanted to at least post GH related stuff so here.

I was inspired by Solo Leveling comics that I've binged recently. I wanted Lin to look as sexy and badass as Sung Jin-Woo, with his Shiki floating around him.

2021 Ghost Hunt Fanworks Weekend Prompts!

Here’s the prompts list for the 2021 GHHQ Fanworks event: 

Naru lives in Gene’s shadow even after he’s gone. Submitted by @eyeliner-vampire 

 Kotatsu  Submitted by @csakuras

Hypnotic Songs of a Glass Harmonica   Submitted by @sprghosthunter

“Just as Mai has a high susceptibility to get hurt through supernatural dangers, Lin has an innate tendency to get stuck in awkward situations."  Submitted by Anonymous

Yasuhara forces Mai to confess to Naru by hitting on Naru himself.  Submitted by Anonymous

dinosaurs/Jurassic Park  Submitted by Anonymous

dream body swap. Humor/canon compliant. If impossible to focus on everyone, it must at least focus on Monk and Yasuhara, please! During a case, the spirit messes with their memories so that the team enters a shared dream and somehow find themselves in each other’s bodies. They must re-live a case we’ve actually seen in anime/manga, but they don’t know another person is also trapped in their body. They have to finish the dream faithfully trying to act as each other, but as the dream goes on, they realize something’s just a little off and they start to wonder. Submitted by @seoulsborne123

Bridgerton style romance!  Submitted by Anonymous

“jibaku shounen hanako-kun/toilet bound hanako-kun” AU   Submitted by Anonymous

Fantasy AU's      Submitted by @books-tea-ghosts

ghost hunt but make it buzzfeed unsolved!AU (it can be with or without Gene being alive) i think that would be entertaining    Submitted by Anonymous

A Phantom Brave and Ghost Hunt crossover? I always thought Marona’s ability was cool and curious to see how the group would react. Submitted by @elizabethchelly

A Deemo inspired fic w/ the twins! Highly recommend listening to the music. Submitted by Anonymous

Gimme a Lin-centric story that shows our favorite stoic onmyoji getting into some sort of trouble. He’s always shown as being this perfectly responsible adult. Surely he has flaws. Bonus points if it deals with a whirlwind/short lived romance with a female character (either established or OC.) Submitted by @aeternus0flamma

Fiction Prompt: Haunted Island Mansion Case. Cursed Artifact. Masako in danger on a case. Lin exploration…a whole case from his perspective. Submitted by @crystalrmartin-moondaisuki 

Art Prompt: Mai/Naru embracing  Submitted by @crystalrmartin-moondaisuki 

Art Prompt: The whole group silly family style  Submitted by @crystalrmartin-moondaisuki 

Art Prompt: Mai/Naru with children  Submitted by @crystalrmartin-moondaisuki

FAMILIAR KEEPSAKES

a ghost hunt zine

It’s finally here!! Take a look at Familiar Keepsakes, our fandom’s collaborative zine! With the theme of ‘Family,’ we wish to impart how much Ghost Hunt has brought us all together to make one big ole family, just as how the SPR gang has formed lifelong ties with each other 💖

We apologize for the wait, though it’s always better late than never, right? 😁 Consider this as a special treat just for you. (Happy Halloween!)

Thank you very very much to our contributors! Please send your love over to them! @csakuras​ ​ @willtart​​ @flychansan​​ @atalieaoi​​ @thisurlplease​​ @vzyfny​ @crazydcchick​​ @radiowrites​​ @eyeliner-vampire​​

Thank you also to our wonderful editorial board! @rmnitb​​ @tiffotcf​​ @books-tea-ghosts​​ @puff-the-evil-dragon​​ @samantha-girlscout​​

Download it here! ➡ https://tinyurl.com/FamiliarKeepsakes-GH

A short note on the files:

1. The [reading copy] is meant to be read digitally. The pages have been ordered so as to emulate the appearance of a zine, but please do not print this. 2. The [printing copy] has been set for back-to-back printing on A4 paper. If you do not have a border-less printing feature on your printer, scale the file down to 90~95% so that nothing will be cut out. If you need help with this, message @rmnitb​​  2a. After printing the zine, you can bind it using several methods. You may find tutorials online.

Lastly, thank you for your support! Let’s collab again and make more zines together soon~

[Ghost Hunt Short Stories Collection, Vol. 1]

It's finally here!! Sorry for the delay!! I've decided to post the first volume for now since the second is still under way, and the third will only be posted once the second is up.

It's Noll and Gene's birthday after all, and what better way to spend the day than to cry over the twins while reading their stories~

Included in this volume are the following:

His Reality

Confession for a White Crow

Angel with a Bicycle

Eugene

Fuyumi Ono, of course, is the amazing writer who wrote these stories, and all rights are reserved to her and her publishers.

DOWNLOAD IT HERE 👉 GH Short Stories, Vol. 1

Enjoy!! I have a very small part in this collection—I just did the layout haha! Please please don't forget to thank the following people for the AMAZING work and effort they poured into this project. This never would have happened without them!

Translation (stories): @csakuras

Translation (preface): @thisurlplease

Cover: @seoulsborne123

[Layout version guide]

I made two layout types: (1) for reading on any device capable of opening pdf files, and (2) for back to back printing on A4 paper.

The first layout type is a simple pdf that you can read using whichever pdf app or program you prefer to use.

The second layout type is further divided into two kinds, but only the cover differs: one is colored and the other is b/w. You may print either of these depending on the ink available to you. The content of both versions are the same. (I suggest printing the cover on glossy board paper, around 120gsm, to make it all sparkly~ the other pages can be printed on regular 60~80gsm paper)

[Printing guide]

Be mindful of margins as normal printers do not print until the edges. You may scale down the document's size to 90% or 85%

Print either of the files labelled "for printing" as you normally would on your printer, BACK-TO-BACK ON A4 PAPER

Make sure that the pages are in the correct order (refer to the printing copy pdf, the order should be exactly the same)

Fold the stack in half to prepare the booklet for binding. You may also fold each piece of paper individually to make it neater, just make sure to put the pages back in order

Bind the booklet using a long-arm stapler if you have one, or using and some thread. It's pretty easy to do, there's a lot of tutorials online. Just search "zine binding tutorial"

After binding, cut off the edges using a cutter and ruler

You're done!!

If you have any questions about printing, binding or about the collection itself, feel free to reply to this post or send me a direct message!! If you're also interested in collaborating with me for a different zine project, let me know anytime ^^

That's all, hope you enjoy reading! Also feel free to reblog this post with pictures of your own diy copy ❤️ Watch out for the second and third volumes, they'll be released soon ✨✨

i chose each flower with purpose. if you know why let me know ! ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡

currently: not open for pre-order. 

please be patient while i figure out pricing and numbers. (✿ꈍ。 ꈍ✿)  more information should be available in the next 1-2 weeks.

Lin —> plum blossom, frequently depicted in Chinese art. Symbolizes perseverance, hope, beauty, purity, and the transitoriness of life

Mai —> cherry blossom, iconic Japanese flower, symbolizes new beginnings as well as transitoriness of life

Naru —> red rose, love and passion. Also, a white lily? Used for weddings a funerals, mean purity, commitment, and rebirth

[nijisonata]

@thisurlplease right on target ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡

the white lily with naru is to symbolise grief at a funeral (in this case, gene.) small detail, but i thought it added ? 

thank you for your flower symbolism analysis ! (๑ˊ͈ ॢꇴ ˋ͈)〜♡॰ॱ i love doing plant symbolism so much. 

[thisurlplease]

Nice! Flower symbolism is strangely fitting for Ghost Hunt. The original novels use a lot of it in the artwork!
