Manga Review: Muhyo & Roji’s Bureau of Supernatural Investigation vol.3






Story and art by: Yoshiyuki Nishi
By Aliraluna

Review:

Are you a victim of unwanted spirit possession? Is there a ghost you need sent up and away… or down to burn for all eternity? If the answer is yes, then you need Muhyo and Roji, experts in magic law. Serving justice to evil spirits is their specialty.

Article #15 and #16: Someone’s There/Lurker in the Grass: 

After two days, Muhyo and Roji come back to their house but Roji suddenly sees a shape in the window and makes a run for it only to find Kenji reading manga who explains he’s been taking care of the place while they were gone. But Roji sees the shape again but this time in Muhyo’s room and they encounter a ghost with long black glossy hair desperate and longing to listen to a flute’s music once again. What will Kenji do?

Articles #17, #18 and #19: The Ghost Writer/ Zansetsu Hirata/ The Night Butterfly: 

They receive a call from someone in need of their service who is staying in a hotel called “Nanagase Hot Springs”. Roji and Muhyo along with Nana, decide to go investigate. While they wait for Mr. Yontani, they decide to take a bath in the relaxing springs. The first impression they receive from Mr. Yontanji is that he is a perverted ‘peeping tom’ since he was looking at Nana while she took a bath. He later explains that he’s been staying in that inn for about half a year, and has been writing at nights… only that he doesn’t remember having written anything. The writing style and scenes are different from what he would have thought of but that’s how the book “The Night Butterfly”, a best-seller, was written. He came to the conclusion that he is possessed by a ghost writer. Later that night Nana and Roji are doing watch over Yontani, but Roji decides to go downstairs to bring the used plates… what did Roji find out? 

Articles #20, #21, #22 and #23: Artificer Biko/ The Landing/ Into the Arcanum/ The Mad Planter: 

Another old classmate of Muhyo arrives: artificer Biko. The artificers are ones that make the tools of the Magic Law trade such as: books, pens and wards. And their methods are secrets. Biko has a great problem, one of Biko’s magic locks used in the Arcanum, a magic prison where they keep the most powerful and dangerous spirits, has been broken. Receiving reports of this, Biko decided to seek help from both of them before going to the Arcanum. In there they meet Rio Kurotori, another artificer and the creator of Muhyo’s book, but they also learn what’s been happening inside with the guarding judges. Will they make it down to the Arcanium? Or will they receive attacks from other monsters?

Are you a victim of unwanted spirit possession? Is there a ghost you need sent up and away… or down to burn for all eternity? If the answer is yes, then you need Muhyo and Roji, experts in magic law. Serving justice to evil spirits is their specialty.

After Muhyo mentioned the name “Enchu”, Roji is wondering who this person is and why is he after Muhyo? Will we get some answers?

Article #6: Unfading: 
Muhyo and Roji were called by the parents of two high-school students called Nozomi and Takahiro, as they know they are hiding a ghost. Arriving at their secret place they see a ghost called Yuta who was their former classmate and best friend. Yuta (when he was alive) came up with the idea of create a painting on a wall before graduation, but he had an accident. What will happen if he tries to stay in this world?

Article #7 and #8: Nana’s Photos/ Daddy: 
“Muhyo’s rules, No. 3: Meeting with former clients is prohibited…but exceptions will be made for new cases”. Kenji comes back to visit, but he’s not alone! Nana who is a soon-to-be photographer, whose dad passed away two months ago and her mother left her, has taken lots of pictures. Kenji explains that there’s a ghost in all of them, and he’s correct. Muhyo explains that she’s a medium and that’s the reason why she may attract lots of ghosts. Why does Nana get mad when Muhyo explains the situation? Does it have anything to do with her late father? Find out and meet this new character.

Article #9: Roju’s Pen: 
Is the day Roji has been waiting for: he receives a package with a magical pen to create wards and an invitation to the annual advancement test. Later, Nana comes back to explain that she saw a ghost on a bridge but Muhyo doesn’t care. Roji decides to go and help. Will he be successful with his new weapon?

Articles #10 and #11: Presence/ Premonition: 
Muhyo decides to take Roji to his advancement tests. In there, Nana visits the library with him and while Roji looks for a certain book, a boy appears out of nowhere. Later on, while Roji’s at the test Nana sees Judge Yoichi and when she gets closer, she sees he has small mouths all over his body. What will happen to him and everyone?


Articles #12, #13 and #14: Madness/ Pride/ Together: 
At the cafĂ©, Roji learns that Muhyo, Judge Yoichi and Enchu were best friends and classmates when they were young. Knowing that Enchu is now attacking and on the dark side because he was always obsessed with talent and he wanted to be the Executor. They are under attack by paper ghosts and get trapped inside, but Roji with his powerful pen and strength destroys lots of them all at once, earning him the special promotion of First Clerk!

Are you a victim of unwanted spirit possession? Is there a ghost you need sent up and away or down to burn for all eternity? If the answer is yes, then you need Muhyo and Roji, experts in magic law. Serving justice to evil spirits is their specialty.

Follow Muhyo, the youngest of the executors of magic law, and Roji his second clerk assistant (lowest rank) in the many adventures they will have while Roji learns more about magic law, and strange events start happening. Enjoy the first manga I read!

Article #1: Rie & Taeko: 
Rie Inoue pays a visit to tell them about “the girl on track 5” believing that the ghost is indeed a girl that pulls people’s legs and that she may have been a classmate, specifically a friend of hers and she thinks she killed her. Will both girls find redemption and know what really happened?

Article #2: Old Mrs. Kiyomi: 
Muhyo and Roji are starving but there’s no money! Just when Muhyo is eating a book this cute old lady called Kiyomi Taguchi arrives with curry and a new case. She runs a student dormitory that is now haunted. One day, the students went to tell her about a a one-eyed ghost and left because they were really scared. She needs them to come back as she promised her late husband that every Sunday she would give curry to the students because they are poor… Who’s that ghost and what does it want?

Article #3: Genius
In the middle of the night they receive a call to arrive at a mansion. Shiratori explains that at two in the morning precisely, a shadow starts playing the piano. Muhyo explains that sometimes the emotion of ‘hate’ from several people get together creating a haunt. Later on, they find the paper that has their advertisement and notice that the colors of the mark of magic laws are inverted… Was this case on purpose?

Article #4: The Present: 
A “normal” day in their lives, Muhyo gets angry because Roji was using his book and he throws a fit. Roji goes away while crying when he suddenly finds himself sitting in an old chair. He decides to give this antique to Muhyo, but things get worse. Why did Muhyo reject his present?

Article #5: Kenji, Destroyer of Signs:
In this chapter, we meet a boy (that will appear later) named Kenji who doesn't believe in ghosts and decides to throw a rock at their sign. Also, he’s going steal a seal from a temple. What will happen? Will he finally believe in ghosts?

Special One-shot: 
Kaya’s Onodera house is alive; the temperature changes and it gets worse when a man appears. She think it has to do with Nobuo, a guy that followed her everywhere and everyone called him a stalker… Is it really him? I wouldn't trust that cellphone strap.
