Ohhh, where do I even begin with 'GOGOGOGO-GO-GHOST!'? This series is like someone took a classic ghost story,
blended it with roller derby energy, and sprinkled in existential dread—but in the funniest way possible. Volume 1 introduces our protagonist, Aki, a high schooler who accidentally becomes a 'ghost herder' after stumbling into a spectral rift during a midnight bike race. The
ghosts aren’t your typical spooky phantoms, though—they’re more like chaotic, over-caffeinated poltergeists obsessed with unfinished business, like a ghost who just wants to beat their high score in an arcade game or another who’s desperate to apologize to their ex. Aki’s job? Round them up and help them move on, all while avoiding the mysterious 'Cleaners,' a corporate-looking squad that’s way too into ghostly 'reprocessing.'
The art style is wild—think neon graffiti meets traditional ink wash—and the pacing never lets up. There’s this one scene where Aki has to outrace a ghostly train conductor by literally skateboarding on floating lanterns, and it’s pure adrenaline. The volume ends with a cliffhanger: Aki’s best friend, who’s been helping him, might actually be a ghost herself. I love how the series balances absurd humor with moments that hit surprisingly hard, like when a ghost finally lets go of their regret. It’s a rollercoaster, and I’m totally here for it.
