      Status: Complete (1 volume)
      Publisher: Media Works Bunko (ASCII Media Works)
      A general audience novel line started from Dengeki Bunko, mentioned before in:
      Three Days of Happiness
      Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou

      Not on LNDB but other works of the same author is.


      Synopsis
      Love with a beautiful ghost -. I will never forget her.

      I am Harikaro Asakura. Actually, I have been bothered by ghosts since long ago. That's why my family told me that "There is no ghost in London," therefore I came to London just in the 20th century alone. But the city is full of ghosts! I was deceived! When walking down the street cautiously, I found a girl who was dressed in a bright blue kimono. Oh, it's a ghost ... .... But, unlike usual, I just could not keep my eyes off her for some reason, even though she turned her eyes towards me.
      This is encounter with a woman who will change me. The story is painted in the misty London, the tears do not stop at ecstasy, the story of an ephemeral love.

      It seems like a story with light-hearted atmosphere but emotional ending as they keep meeting ghosts around and dealing with their cases together.

              @bloodygaikotsu Thank you for posting this. When I went to search for it on Amazon Japan, I came across a series from the same line that I want : )

                I think you would dig most (if not all) Media Works Bunko line.
                I keep sharing some of it from time to time, but always get discouraged due to lack of enthusiasm.
                Beautiful covers, touching or unique stories, combining LN-style with more variety in genres and themes. (The right balance between LN and mainstream literary novels)

                  It's JNC, Japan(ese) Novel Club- I think (hope) there's room for Light Novels and this type of work
                  I'd buy

                  I read banned books

                    JNC licensed a few non-LNs already and I suggested, at least, 10 non-LN on the forums lol
