review 1: More ghosts, Rin-ne is still as money-hungry as Nabiki and a new love interest appears! Sakura's childhood friend Tsubasa, who comes from some kind of spiritual family shows up. He remembers her quite fondly (she has to be reminded of who he is), and has quite the crush on her. He felt quite the bond with her when they were children because they could both see ghosts. He tries to help with the ghost investigations, but gets in the way more than helps from what I could tell. He tries, but his 'attacks' are fairly ineffective at being anything more than an irritation. Two stories come to mind - one is a ghost that is supposed to be based on a popular urban legend - the 'toilet ghost'. It's a little girl who gets conned into being controlled by a larger spirit, and they come ... moreto cause trouble for the expanding group.The second is the ghost of a boy who died with an unrequited crush. The group solves his issue by getting him a date with his crush, and the whole group goes to the theme park causing much jealousy on Tsubasa's part whenever Sakura seems to become closer with Rokudo (Rin-ne - I guess they're on 1st name basis now).
review 2: Much more charming than the previous volume. It is always interesting to see how Takahashi introduces a new character when a series grows stale. The introduction of Tsubasa infused some life into this manga and provided fun comedic moments. Chapters 19-21 were the strongest in the volume and had a nostalgic, sentimental quality similar to Takahashi's Urusei Yatsura story where Ataru dated a ghost. Favorite quote: Rokudo-kun's so cool…If only he wasn't wearing a skirt… less
