The Akuryou Series


Ghost Hunt is a series of novels written by Ono Fuyumi. The series was released between 1989 – 1994. It has a manga (1998 - Present) and anime (3 October 2006 – 27 March 2007) adaption. The series was originally titled the "Akuryou Series" (悪霊シリーズ).

The manga was renamed to "Ghost Hunt," and since the anime was based on the manga, it adopted the title "Ghost Hunt" instead of "Akuryou" (the original title). "Akuryou" (悪霊) roughly translates to "Evil Spirits."

This project has recently been revived by Sinmay, whose LiveJournal can be found here. If you enjoy reading the translations, be sure to head over and say thanks!

September 2015: Please note that Yumemi Sayaka is in the midst of editing volume 1 & 2 before hopefully moving on to the translation and completion of volume 3, your patience is much appreciated :). Decided to keep project status as "stalled" first as am not sure how long editing volume 1 & 2 will take. Thanks!

September 2016: Sera131 is currently translating Volume 6. Chapter updates should occur every one to two weeks.

January 2017: Sera131 is currently working on revisions for Volume 8 before moving onto translations.

February 2023: Witchhuntress is continuing the translations of Volume 3. She will edit the earlier chapters of Volume 3 after she finished the rest of it that weren't translated yet. Chapter 5 will be updated this February.

Translation

Registration

Translators are asked to register which chapters they're working on (see the Guideline page for usage rules).

Format Standards

The majority of the translations come from the Chinese version. If you spot any inconsistencies, feel free to edit, as this is an open wiki. The translations for volume 3 (in-progress), volume 6, and volume 8 are from the Japanese versions. Again, as this is an open wiki and translators as learning Japanese as they go along, feel free to edit.

September 2015: Editing for the existing novels is being done by reference to the Japanese version of the novels, however please note that Yumemi Sayaka is not re-translating the entire existing novels, she is merely going through the English version and checking it against the Japanese version where inconsistencies have arisen. Feel free to edit if you notice anything out of place.
