Where Does The Ghost Stories Anime End In The Light Novel?

The Ghost Stories anime is a legendary piece of animation in the Western world solely for the irreverent original dub that the localization team and voice actors freestyled after they could not get a detailed script sent to them.

However, Ghost Stories, the original undubbed Japanese anime, is a fine, but forgettable series of children’s ghost stories explored through a group of friends.

Can You Continue The Ghost Stories Story?

TL;DRThe Ghost Stories anime mind as well be an original anime story for as little as it has to do with material it was based on.

The Ghost Stories anime was based, very loosely, off a series of novels about various school-based urban legends. It was also adapted to manga.

However, the problem is that – not only are they hard to find even in the original Japanese – but they also have almost nothing to do with the anime.

In the anime, you follow Satsuki and her friends as they deal with various supernatural spirits that were sealed by her mother with the malicious and occasionally helpful Amanojaku. In the novels and manga, it is episodic urban legend-style ghost stories about the school told by famous urban legend icons like Hanako the bathroom ghost or Jinta the anatomy model.
