THREE ARROWS internet radio (Hibiki-Radio.jp) was promoting this series until recently, and since it sounded interesting, I picked it up. I actually picked up the manga as well.

Most stories dealing with supernatural tend to be scary, at least in Japan, but this one is mostly cute and funny. Their selling point was in fact this, a good starter series for people who can't stomach ghost stories.

We have some seriously high-end casting. Endou Aya (Amami Hibiki), Tomatsu Haruka (Inoue Narumi), Hanazawa Kana (Uehara), Kitamura Eri (Esumi), and Taketatsu Ayana (Ogawa). For the older generation, there are Tobita Nobuo (Jibaku-rei), Horiuchi Ken'yuu (Daihenzamurai), Miki Shin'ichirou (Hibiki's father), and Hikami Kyouko (Hibiki's mother). And we can't forget the legend, Wakamoto Norio (EroNeko). I wouldn't want to skip Terakawa Aimi (Kogyaru-rei), who is also the main radio personality for the THREE ARROWS radios. Somewhat minor, but there're also Shirai Yuusuke (Yamada), Uehara Sumire, and Itou Miki. I didn't even notice Uehara Sumire while listening. ^^;

Inoue is my favorite character. I do wonder if Hanazawa Kana would've been better for the role than Tomatsu Haruka, though. I wonder if this series will ever get animated. Cast shuffle has happened before you know. For example, ARIA drama CD to ARIA anime.

There weren't any track titles, so I made them all up.

The only thing I miss is the cast talk, which actually pisses me off. They made a separate CD of the cast talk, and you can only get that by buying directly from chara-ani.com. Of course, they don't ship overseas. This is the kind of marketing that leads to loss of customers, at least customers like me.
