Dark Gathering, Vol. 9

An unwilling magnet for the supernatural and a ghost-hunting little girl join forces to capture Japan’s most terrifying and dangerous spirits.

After a dangerous encounter with a malevolent spirit, Keitaro Gentoga wants nothing to do with the supernatural. Unfortunately for this reluctant ghost magnet, he’s stuck helping Yayoi Hozuki—a strange young girl who’s intent on capturing Japan’s most terrifying ghosts and ghouls.

Yayoi and her friends have been trapped in a deadly game of dream tag by a sinister spirit wearing the body of an elementary schooler! With only a single plushie at her disposal, will Yayoi be able to help everyone escape from the deranged teacher who’s hunting them, or will they all end up as nothing but food for the crows?
