This is the news I was looking for, in regards to the Ghost Hunt manga. Finally, some confirmation! The series will end (or has ended, if the manga was published on the 30th like they said it would be). I'll get to see in manga form what I've read in summaries of the books. Volume 12 is going to cover most of the interesting stuff, so I really, really hope that Del Rey brings it over quickly. I can't wait to read it!

It would be awesome if the rest of the series were animated after volume 12 is released, but I don't want to get my hopes too high on that one. I think the Ghost Hunt anime enjoyed a moderate popularity, but I'm not sure if it's enough to get us more episodes.

I just got the first DVD box set of Ghost Hunt. I have to say, I'm impressed with this new idea of Funimation's. It seems that they will be releasing their series in 13-episode box sets from now on. This means I don't have to wait forever to collect them, because - let's face it - I'm not ever going to be doing the individual DVD thing. I did it with FMA, but I totally regret that decision. As long as whoever is releasing the series makes a box set for it, I'm happy.

Anyway, Ghost Hunt (and Ouran High School Host Club) appear to be split into two box sets. The sets are extremely small (almost the size of an individual DVD) and they include two thinpak DVDs each. They are perfect for storing. I hate large box sets for smaller series. I only have to put Peach Girl and Escaflowne beside each other to realize how much I hate this. Peach Girl's box is an inch wide. Escaflowne's is three or four inches. They have the same number of episodes, damnit!

But, anyway.
