This story was born from graffiti spotted in Los Angeles. It’s not profound, yet it leaves a subtle impression. It’s a loose 4-panel comic about a ghost boy and girl.
Well, how was that? I’d be happy if you all enjoyed it!
Character Introductions
Oz
A ghost boy. Born from inspiration drawn from Los Angeles graffiti, he is the protagonist of this story. He’s easygoing and loves music.
Lou
A ghost girl. She’s the heroine who goes to various places with Oz. She’s a bit headstrong and loves cooking, though unfortunately she’s not very skilled at it. She also loves fashion, but since she’s a ghost, it’s hard to find clothes that suit her. Her treasure is a rabbit stuffed animal named Mimi-chan.
Kumanoko
A bear stuffed animal with a touch of melancholy. Oz and Lou don’t know that he can move. Through training, he’s become able to emit weak Wi-Fi signals.
Mimi
Lou’s treasured rabbit stuffed animal. She has a girly personality and tends to get flustered easily. She’s currently concerned about her diet. However, she’s incredibly skilled at making sweets.
Wi-Fi
An electronic device true to its name. He’s a cynic, but he’s actually a good guy who cares about his companions. His trademark red shoes are retractable.
Spirituali-chan
A somewhat spiritual girl. She’s 16 years old. She became a fan after encountering spiritual books in elementary school. Her favorite food is a tropical parfait. She’s also drawn to quantum mechanics.
ABOUT
This story began being drawn with inspiration from graffiti I saw in Los Angeles long ago. I’ve been secretly aiming for clean colors and casual stories, inspired by my beloved Snoopy.
Since the two are ghost boy and girl, I titled it Friendly Ghost. Living alongside boy Oz and girl Lou are Kumanoko, a bear stuffed animal, and Mimi, a rabbit stuffed animal that Lou fell in love with and bought. And there’s the Wi-Fi in their home. I’d be happy if you’d enjoy their little story.
