This story was born from graffiti seen in Los Angeles. It’s not profound, but it leaves a subtle impression. It’s a loose 4-panel comic about a ghost boy and girl.

So, how did you like it? I’m happy if you all enjoyed it!

Character Introductions

Oz

A ghost boy. Born from inspiration from graffiti in Los Angeles, he is the protagonist of this story. He’s laid-back and loves music.

Lou

A ghost girl. The heroine who goes to various places with Oz. She’s a bit bold and likes cooking, but unfortunately she’s not very good at it. She also likes fashion, but since she’s a ghost, she can’t find clothes that suit her. Her treasured possession is a stuffed rabbit named Mimi.

Kumanoko

A stuffed bear that gives off just a touch of melancholy. The fact that he can move is unknown to Oz and Lou. Through training, he has become able to emit weak Wi-Fi signals.

Mimi

Lou’s treasured stuffed rabbit. She has a girly personality and sometimes gets flustered. Currently concerned about dieting. However, she’s super good at making sweets.

Wi-Fi

An electronic device true to his name. He’s a cynic but actually a good guy who cares about his friends. His trademark red shoes are retractable.

Spirituali-chan

A somewhat spiritual girl. 16 years old. She discovered spiritual books in elementary school and became a fan. Her favorite food is tropical parfait. She is also drawn to quantum mechanics.

ABOUT

This story was inspired by graffiti I saw in Los Angeles long ago. Inspired by my beloved Snoopy, I’m secretly aiming for clean colors and casual stories.

Since the two are a ghost boy and girl, I titled it “The Friendly Ghost.” Living alongside the boy Oz and girl Lou is Kumanoko, a bear stuffed animal. Mimi, a rabbit stuffed animal that Lou fell in love with at first sight. And the Wi-Fi in their home. I’d be happy if you enjoyed their little story.
