Details: Editorial Reviews Mai Taniyama, the heroine of the supernatural adventure Ghost Hunt (2006), thinks of herself as an ordinary high-school freshman who enjoys telling ghost stories with her friends--until she meets Kazuya "Naru" Shibuya. A handsome, poised senior, he runs his own company: Shibuya Psychic Research. Mai becomes Naru's assistant, helping to uncover what lies behind unexplained happenings in an abandoned building, a luxurious home, a seemingly normal high school. Glass shatters, furniture moves, things go bump in the night. Some of these actions are caused by humans, others by ghosts and poltergeists. Mai and Naru are assisted in the ghost-busting business by an argumentative supporting cast that includes John Brown, a teenage Catholic priest from Australia; Ayako Matsuzaki, a Shinto shrine maiden who's getting a little long in the tooth; Houshou Takigawa, a Buddhist monk turned rock bassist; Tao master Lin Koujo, Naru's taciturn second-in-command; and Masako Hara, a TV psychic. They perform an ecumenical assortment of exorcisms and purification rituals that rarely do much good. Mai discounts her own psychic abilities, but her vivid dreams often reveal the key to the mystery. Those dreams are also the one place where Naru becomes the warm and gentle boy she'd like him to be, rather than the arrogant, often rude guy he is in real life. Ghost Hunt is a agreeable, light-hearted fantasy that plays on suspense and character interaction, rather than violence and gore. (Rated TV 14, but suitable for viewers two to three years younger: minor violence, scarey imagery, possibly offensive religious imagery) --Charles Solomon
