Ghost Talker's Daydream (original title 低俗霊 Daydream, or Vulgar Ghost's Daydream) is a Shōnen horror manga with Ecchi overtones written by Saki Okuse and illustrated by Sankichi Meguro, which was serialized in Shonen Ace from 2000 to 2007 and collected into 10 volumes. It was adapted into a four-episode OVA series in 2004. The first six volumes have been released by Dark Horse Comics with more still to come.Misaki Saiki is a special young woman. Not because of her day jobs, though those are respectively as a columnist for a porn magazine and as a dominatrix for a BDSM club, but because she can see ghosts. As such she is covertly employed as an exorcist by a government organization, the Livelihood Preservation Group.Her liaison with the organization is Souichirou Kadotake, a Non-Action Guy type who, despite a surprising proficiency in martial arts, is clearly in the wrong line of work, since he's scared of ghosts. She is also assisted by Mitsuru Fujiwara, a teenager with stalkerish tendencies, and Ai Kunugi, a shy high school girl with budding necromantic abilities of her own. | |

Strictly Professional Relationship | |
| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_1144041a | comment |
Strictly Professional Relationship: As much as Kadotake might wish otherwise, that's the long and short of their partnership, as far as Misaki's concerned. The last chapter, however, ends on a very ambiguous note, with Misaki finding herself in the exact same situation she was in earlier in the chapter when Luna came on to her, except with Misaki in Luna's position where she was standing over and watching the object of her affection peeing, with Kadotake now in Misaki's position doing the peeing. The story leaves it ambiguous however if this new situation ends the exact same way as the first situation, with Misaki coming on to Kadotake the same way Luna came on to her. | |

| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_129749df | comment |
All Men Are Perverts: Kadotake has a one-sided crush on Misaki, but knows that nothing's ever gonna happen between them. Not that it stops him from perving on her every chance he gets. Mitsuru's been stalking her ever since she turned him down as a client, because he was still in high school. He follows her around with his camera, looking for chances to snap candid photos of her. In chapter 16, Kobayashi fantasizes about Shizue, Kinako, and Lisa all becoming his Sex Slaves, by beating them at Mahjong. Naturally, he loses. | |

Rape as Drama | |
| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_12dd1d4c | comment |
Rape as Drama: In the first episode, Ai is nearly raped by Koga while making a return visit to her sister's abandoned apartment. Fortunately, Misaki had been led there by her sister's spirit, which unnerves Koga, causing him to run off. The murder victim in chapter 4, who fell prey to a serial killer who pretended to offer her a ride home. Instead, he took her to a deserted ally where he raped and beat her. What came after can be seen here. During Mitsuru's backstory, it's implied that he was raped by Hijiri, whom he met through the internet. One scene shows them in bed together during the time he was living with her, but makes it unclear whether it was consensual, as he appeared to be unresponsive. | |

Tempting Fate: The building superintendent asks Kadotake to check Ai's sister's apartment for ghosts. Which he agreed to only because the superintendent said he hadn't seen any around, leading Kadotake to believe it was safe to go in alone. Boy, was he wrong. | |

| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_1b596e24 | comment |
The Beard: A tragic nonconsensual example sets up the final storyline. Its revealed that Luna had a boyfriend before she met Misaki named Ryota Yabusaki. However, Luna was just using the man to keep up social appearances and hide her sexuality. The man was unaware of this however, and believed that they were in a real relationship. Luna broke up with the man after several months of dating, revealing the truth to him. The man felt so betrayed and distraught by this, that he lost his ability to trust people. He sought psychiatric treatment, but he only got worse. Luna never apologized or offered recompense to the man, and practically cut all contact with him. The man eventually became so filled with anger towards her regarding the situation that he decided that he had to get back at her no matter what, even if it meant committing suicide so that he could curse her from beyond the grave with his grudge. | |

Knight in Sour Armor: It isn't that Misaki doesn't care about helping the departed move on, she's just tired of being bothered with it, but also realizes they're not gonna leave her alone until she does, because they're naturally drawn to her. Thus, the only way she can find a moment's peace is to help them find theirs. | |

| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_312b02ac | comment |
Lipstick Lesbian: Shizue doesn't fit either extreme, making her a straight example. Her hair's short and she tends to dress casually, but she's still feminine. Notably, however, this seems to change as the story goes one. After her introductory chapter, she cuts her hair even shorter and starts wearing straight up boyish clothing, seemingly becoming more butch as the story goes on. It maybe that the dramatic events she went through earlier in the story induced a change. | |

Out with a Bang: Played with in ch.3. Misaki is questioned by the police about Shimamura's death and made to describe their session, so she gives them all the lurid details, including how it ended with him giving her oral sex then defecating and ejaculating. She channels his spirit just enough to reveal the location of the suicide note he left, and the chapter concludes with her saying a prayer for his spirit and thanking him for giving her her first on-the-job orgasm. | |

Murder the Hypotenuse | |

Murder the Hypotenuse: Hijiri's ghost refuses to be parted from Mitsuru and was responsible for the deaths of Toudou Satomi and housing department consultant, Futaba, for examining her apartment in an attempt to exorcise her. She was also responsible for the death of Kubota Ryouji, and nearly succeeds in killing Misaki and Mitsuru's father, for also attempting to exorcise her spirit. She makes makes another attempt in chapter 15, when Misaki revisits the apartment to exorcise the spirits of Hijiri's other victims, even going so far as to turn Kinui against her. A flashback in the following chapter reveals Lisa's boyfriend, Shibasaki, was murdered by her ex out of jealousy, after they broke up. | |

Blessed with Suck: This is Misaki's general attitude toward her abilities as a medium, since all it's ever done is alienate the people around her. As a child, it made her an outcast. As an adult, the only ones who'll have anything to do with her, aside from her clients at the Roppongi S&M Club, are Kadotake, Ai, and Shizue. Still, if nothing else, at least it pays well. | |

| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: The anime paints Mitsuru in a better light by toning down his stalking so all he does is take photos of her while she's out in public. Plus, it's made humorous, since he usually catches her in various states on undress, thanks to Kadotake's clumsiness. Aside from that, he's cast as one of Misaki's contacts and even helps save Ai, near the climax of the second episode. | |

Stripperific: Though she dislikes her job as a dominatrix, Misaki tends to dress as one when working as an exorcist (complete with Combat Stilettos), even though such clothing is hardly sensible in dangerous situations. It's heavily implied she does it for atmosphere, since the more afraid a medium is, the worse an exorcism tends to go. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: And a very bitter one at that. To wit: Misaki and her allies are completely unable to stop Yuo's plans, resulting in the mass suicide he orchestrated succeeding, leading to the deaths of over 30 people. This makes all the sacrifices and effort that she and Gada put in pointless. Ai is saved by Mitsuru's quick thinking, but is unable to stop the ritual from happening, leaving her traumatized as a result. Mitsuru goes through with the ritual, and while he is saved at the last moment, he left horribly burned all over his body, so much so that the audience doesn't even see his appearance after the ritual is over. Even worse, his father is driven to accidentally kill himself by the ghosts of his sister and her friend, effectively leaving Mitsuru alone. Misaki is left emotionally devastated by the incident. So much so that she once again leaves Tokyo to get away from the job like she did when she committed murder for the first time. Ai is thus forced to take up her role as necromancer to compensate, which, to her credit, she appears to be a natural at. Misaki returns to Tokyo to finally get information on her mother from Hiratsuka, only to find out that she's a mental health patient, apparently having mentally broken from her line of work. She can't even see her mother properly because she has an episode, leaving her further shaken. She seeks Sex for Solace with Luna, Hiratsuka's daughter, and even seems to be willing to move in with her to escape her past as a necromancer, only for Luna to be killed by a Grudge Transfer Specialist carrying out an act of revenge on behalf a man Luna betrayed. Misaki retakes up her mantle of necromancer to hunt down the Specialist, only to end up accidentally getting him killed when she interferes with his job, finding out too late that he was familiar with her mother. The only possible bright spot in all this is that she may begin a relationship with Kadotake. Damn. | |

Willing Channeler: The only way for Misaki to communicate with the deceased is to allow them to temporarily possess her body and speak through her. Ai also begins to develop this ability in the later part of the manga. | |

| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Averted, as the series shows the Livelihood Preservation Group and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police working toward solving various suicide and murder cases. Much of vol. 8, in particular, is spent detailing what they've learned over the course of their investigation concerning Yuo and the Rock 'n Roll Suicide BBS website and also uncovering Yuo's true objective. Vol. 9 shows various precincts canvassing each of the known BBS-heavy prefectures to try determine the location of "The Flame of Lament"note the reenactment of a protest by a group of Shinto and Buddhist priests who committed suicide at an abandoned temple, by way of immolation to prevent it from taking place. | |

I See Dead People: Misaki has seen spirits since childhood and eventually learned she was a mediumnote a spiritual conduit by which the deceased can communicate with the living. As such, spirits have always been drawn to her, when all she wants is for them to leave her alone. Ai begins to see spirits after helping Misaki unravel the events that led to the murder of Ai's older sister and the accidental death of her niece. From then on, Ai begins to look up to Misaki and hopes to become just like her. However, Misaki believes Ai's better off ignoring spirits. During the events of chapter 12, Misaki finally accepts her as her backup. | |

She's shown visibly struggling and begging him to stop, only to end up with her back arched and screaming in pleasure moments later. She even thanks his ghost for it at the end of the chapter! | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: There are numerous cases throughout the series: In chapter 3, one of Misaki's regulars hangs himself because the manga artist that worked for their company's publishing office suddenly quit his job. In the month that followed, their ratings steadily declined, causing Shimamura to become depressed. This was explained in the suicide note he left behind at his office. Chapter 6 has a double suicide between Arisa and Naori, whom Shizue had met at a bar in Ikebukuro the night before. This leaves Shizue to blame herself for ignoring the warning signs that Arisa was troubled about coming to terms with her sexual identity. In chapter 8, a cabbie named Shigeura hangs himself out of remorse, after he picked up a female passenger with the intent to rape her, but couldn't go through with it. He called his friend, Muraoka, for advice, but Muraoka raped her himself in the backseat of Shigeura's cab, and strangled her afterward. Shigeura fled the scene in panic and committed suicide, later that night. The 9th chapter begins with another double suicide. What's particularly notable about this instance is, one of them was Mitsuru's mentally ill younger sister-in-law. Chapter 12 features multiple Yuo suicide victims, beginning with Isanami and her friends, who're later found dead in the lake. Misaki sensed the stench of death on Koshigaya, before he was also found dead along with Isanami's group. A flashback shows that Gada's older brother was also a suicide victim. Near the end of chapter 17, Detective Gada arranges for Haru to meet with Yuo, face-to-face. During the meeting, she collapses in mental exhaustion. She recovers soon afterward, but says she feels ill and asks to go to the women's room.... where she leaps to her death. | |

Murder-Suicide | |
| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_87a38662 | comment |
Murder-Suicide: The truth of what really happened to Yuo's parents. In the final chapter, it is revealed that this is also functionally how Grudge Transfer Specialists work. They take a dead person's grudge, generally someone who commits suicide for that very purpose, turn it into a curse, and transfer it over to a specific target so that the target can be killed by the grudge that the previously deceased person created, effectively making it a suicide induced murder from beyond the grave. The specialists don't particularly care whether or not the person holding the grudge has a legitimate grievance or not, though many times they do. They merely carry out their job and curse someone to death. This is what ends up happening to Luna. | |

Stalker with a Crush: Played Straight and for laughs with Mitsuru. According to Shizue, he became a fan of Misaki's back when she first started publishing her "Mistress" column and frequently sent her love letters. At one point, he even showed up at the Roppongi Club as a client, but Misaki refused because he was only 17. Mitsuru has even gone so far as to bug her apartment and stole a drawer full of her panties, but left $1,000 so she could buy new ones. The guy even has recordings of her using the bathroom and even lets Kadotake have one, as a sign of appreciation for taking him along to find Misaki. Kadotake is deeply moved. | |

Dude Magnet: Misaki has three guys crushing on her. She's also one of the most frequently requested doms at the Roppongi S&M Club...not that she cares for any of the attention. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |
| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_984ef9ef | comment |
"Not So Different" Remark: Yuo tries to invoke this with Misaki, believing they were the same as both grew up being expected to conform to the norms of society, despite feeling isolated from it (albeit for different reasons). This also leads him to believe she's the only one fit to judge him since, in his eyes, the morals of the world don't apply to her. Misaki disagrees. | |

Took a Level in Badass: While Misaki is on vacation, Ai is press-ganged into helping with medium work. While she doesn't do as great a job as Misaki, she eventually reaches Plucky Girl status, enough to become a Morality Pet to Mitsuru. | |

Ambiguously Bi | |
| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_bd0230fb | comment |
Ambiguously Bi: A very unusual example. For almost the entire series, Misaki was portrayed to be nothing else other than straight. She nearly lost her virginity as a teenage to her first love, who was a boy, and got her first orgasm on her job from a male client eating her out, and clearly enjoyed it after the fact. She also primarily works as Dominatrix on male clients, and clearly enjoys it on some level, despite her protestations to the contrary. However, suddenly in the last chapter, she allows herself to be seduced by Luna, Hiratsuka's daughter, and has a one night stand with her. She even consents to living with the woman afterward. She has never shown any interest in women before this, and even seemed somewhat perplexed by her best friend's lesbianism, wondering why she outed herself. In fact, Misaki hasn't been shown to pursue romantic relationships at all throughout the story up to this point. A Watsonian explanation would look at a statement Misaki made to Kadotake after Luna's death, which seems to indicate that she was just looking for some kind of escape from her old life, and may have latched on to Luna for that. A Doylist explanation would be that the story needed a final dramatic conflict, and having Misaki be in a relationship with the final victim would give her a dramatic, personal reason to be involved. And their sex scene added fanservice. The audience is simply left to wonder. | |

Undying Loyalty: Ms. Kuraki's guard dog, Meri. If anyone tries to harm her, he'll know... and he'll find you. Even if he has to do it from beyond the grave. | |

Product Placement | |
| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: It crops up here and there in the manga version. The first page of chapter 5 shows Misaki playing F-Zero on a Gameboy Advance. She says she likes it and thinks about getting a link cable for it. The same chapter shows Ai eating an Egg McMuffin from McDonald's. Chapter 12 shows that Kadotake smokes Malboro Lights brand cigarettes. | |

Silent Conversation | |
| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_f922f01d | comment |
Silent Conversation: Takes place in chapter 17, when Misaki finally meets with Yuo. To Gada and the others, it appeared they were sitting in silence, when they were conversing within their minds, where Yuo explains the circumstances that led to the eventual suicides of Satomi, Ryouji, Hijiri and Haru | |

Living Emotional Crutch | |
| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_fbd1aeb | comment |
Living Emotional Crutch: Misaki had already become one for Kadotake, from the story's outset. Mitsuru is also emotionally dependent on her, albeit for different reasons. And by the time of vol.8, he needs Ai as well. | |

Weapon Specialization | |
| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_fc148c2c | comment |
Weapon Specialization: Naturally, Misaki has a whip. Its name is "Kinui"note "Demon Thread" and it's alive. It also feeds on flesh, as seen at the end of the first book, when Misaki allows Kinui to eat Koga. Kinui is eventually revealed to have been made using Misaki's mother's hair. She burns Kinui, but later has a new version made using her own hair. | |

Technical Virgin | |
| Ghost Talker's Daydream (Manga) / int_fdc6d885 | comment |
Technical Virgin: At least, that how Misaki sees it, since she's never "done the deed" with anyone. Still, there was that one time Shimamura got her off pretty good, by eating her out. Misaki later brings this up to Luna when the latter brings the former to a hotel for sex, maybe to dissuade her from penetration. The latter's response is to simply tell Misaki that she has other way of making her feel good. | |
